The Pirates of Penzance at Peninsula Youth Theatre/ Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts

Ahoy! Peninsula Youth Theatre (PYT) proudly presents Gilbert & Sullivans vivacious musical classic, This hilarious comedy operetta features a slave to duty, a winsome maiden, bumbling police, a lying major-general, not-so-dutiful daughters and a pirate king who is too tenderhearted to make piracy pay. Misunderstandings abound with humorous consequences in this farcical musical production that follows young Frederic, an orphan who is mistakenly apprenticed to a boisterous band of pirates until his 21st birthday. When he is finally free to pursue his own adventures, he disavows the pirates way of life, and instantly falls in love with Major-General Stanleys beautiful daughter, Mabel. But will his pirate comrades let him leave so easily?
