Pirates of Penzance



"With cat-like tread," the Pirates of Penzance crept onto the stage the evenings of November 20-22, 2008.  Audiences were treated to a rollicking good time as they were transported back to the days of pirates and maidens. 

Cast members included Dan Denby as the dauntless Pirate King, Peter Matthews as the whimsical Major-General Stanley, Rebecca Gilmore/Caroline Hays double cast as hearing impaired Ruth, Corey Van Dyk as faithful side-kick Samuel, Jamal Sarikoki as duty-bound Frederic, Becky Kim/Olivia Doig double cast as the beautiful Mabel, and Jon Denny who played the wacky Sergeant of Police.  His bumbling force consisted of students as well as esteemed members of the faculty, present and emeritus, who were quite a hit! 

A band of orphaned pirates and Major Stanley's wards rounded out this engaging cast accompanied by a talented pit orchestra.

Congratulations to directors, cast, and crew for such a terrific performance!
