The Pirates of Penzance
April 29-May 1, 2010
Royal City Musical Productions is pleased to bring one of the funniest, most popular musicals of all time back to the River Run Centre.
Frederick, son of a wealthy 19th century man was to be apprenticed to a pilot, but due to a hard-of-hearing nurserymaid, was instead apprenticed to a pirate. Not just any pirate, but the Pirate King, leader of the not-so-fierce “Pirates of Penzance”. But now his indentures are over, Frederick’s sense of duty calls him to rid the seas of these rather simple ruffians. Despite their track record, the pirates believe that they have an ace up their collective sleeves… Frederick is indeed a “Slave of Duty”.
