Details
From the seas to the stage- adventure awaits! Join the University of Akron School of Performing Arts as they set sail on the Spring 2026 production of The Pirates of Penzance. This comic operetta was created by Gilbert and Sullivan and first performed in 1879. It follows “Frederic, a pirate apprentice, who falls head-over-heels in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Frederic is due to be released from his apprenticeship on his 21st birthday, but there’s a snag. Born on 29 February, Frederic discovers that he is technically still a youngster. Although very much in love, his dedication to duty is unshakeable. Can he find a way to live happily-ever-after with Mabel?” -English National Opera
Performances are held on Friday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 12 at 3:00 p.m.
