The Hastings College departments of Theatre and Music will be performing Gilbert and Sullivan’s popular “The Pirates of Penzance” for its 2018 January Term (J-Term) production. This classic comic operetta of fair maidens, wimpy pirates and overzealous police is fun for the whole family.
In the show, Frederic has spent 20 years of his life indentured to a band of pirates and has been promised he will be released on his 21st birthday. After turning 21, he sets off to find adventure, only to discover that his time of servitude may not be finished.
Performances are Thursday, February 1; Friday, February 2; and Saturday, February 3 at 7:30 p.m. with a final performance February 4 at 2:00 p.m. All performances are in Scott Studio Theatre (806 N. Turner Ave.).
Tickets are $5 for students and seniors, and $8 for general admission. To reserve your tickets, email tickets@hastings.edu.
