It is the tale of Frederic, who is mistakenly indentured, by his nursemaid, Ruth, to a band of kind-hearted pirates until he turns 21 years of age, which—due to his leap-year birthday—will not occur for another 63 years. Watch as Ruth pines for Frederic’s affection as he falls in love with the enemy’s fair ward, Mabel. Laugh as empathetic, orphaned pirates are forced to take revenge in the midst of faint-hearted policemen. It’s a hilarious adventure for the entire family.

Starring Jason Wadsworth as the Major General and Samantha Wursten as Mabel. Directed by Sunny Bringhurst. Musically directed by Debby Cannon.

Pirates of Penzance will show Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, June 17–July 23 at 7:30 p.m. with one Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. (date TBA onwww.theobt.org).
