DIRECTOR’S NOTES
The Pirates of Penzance is one of my favorite works. I believe it to be the definition of entertainment. The play masterfully explores every layer of comedy from the base slapstick to witty humor. It is in a word, fun. Written in 1879 the play has endured for 136 years—a century of productions. I believe that this has everything to do with the pure joy that is such an innate part of the script. I hope that joy communicated itself to our audience, and they found the same delight our company found in producing it.
