In The Pirates of Penzance, Frederic was as a child
apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates
by his nurse who, being hard of hearing, had mistaken
her master's instructions to apprentice the boy to a
pilot.
Frederic, upon completing his 21st year, rejoices that
he has fulfilled his indentures and is now free to return
to respectable society. But it turns out that he was
born on February 29 in leap year, and he remains apprenticed
to the pirates until his 21st birthday. By the end of
the opera, the pirates, a Major General who knows nothing
of military strategy, his large family of beautiful
but unwed daughters, and the timid constabulary all
contribute to a cacophony that can be silenced only
by Queen Victoria's name.

10 at 7:30pm. Donations will be accepted. Come and take
part in a grand school tradition!
