Freeport Players Present PIRATES OF PENZANCE, Hold Auditions for THE FOREIGNER

The Pirates of Penzance are under sail and on their way to Freeport!

Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance -- our first main stage production for 2011 -- opens in just seven weeks. That might seem like a long time, but with so much to do between now and then the time will fly by for our volunteers. Read on to learn more about the cast, the show, and ways you can be part of this community-wide effort.

Volunteer and see the show for free!
Our volunteers get free tickets to see the show...and a show this big needs a LOT of volunteers! If you would like to help with set construction, costuming, ushering, publicity, or would like to join the backstage crew, please contact Elizabeth at info@fcponline.org as soon as possible. We have tasks to suit every skill level, with time commitments ranging from a couple of hours working on your own to working backstage at every performance.
