Konos presents Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance on Friday November 22, 2013 at 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. at the Harvest Family Theater in Fayetteville directly behind La Hacienda on Hwy 85, north of the square. This delightful family-friendly operetta tells the mad-cap tale of an English gentleman, Frederick, who is accidentally apprenticed to a group of inept pirates. When he comes of age, he leaves the pirates and meets the love of his life, Mabel.
The cast features Joel Lee (Fayetteville) as Frederick and Marianne Pollard (Sharpsburg) as Mabel. Evan Haasenritter (Fairburn) and Adrian Romoff (Peachtree City) play the Major General. Josiah Lee (Fayetteville) is the Pirate King and Nathan Beaty (Sharpsburg ) is the Police Sargent. Frederick’s nursery maid, Ruth, is played by Lexi Maurer (Sharpsburg).
When Frederick decides to leave the pirates for a more respectable life, he meets a group of lovely young wards of Major General Stanley. Featured daughters are Emma Futch, Katie Futch, Mary Catherine Wood, and Madeline Oliver (Peachtree CIty), Kristin Doverspike (McDonough), Kaela Davis (Riverdale), and Meredith Jacob (Locust Grove ). Featured police officers, who come to their rescue are Andrew Fry, William Fry, Jacob Murphy, and Simon Worley (Peachtree City.
The Pirate King’s sidekick, Samuel, is played by Evan Castaneda (Tyrone). Featured pirates are Elias Harper (Fayetteville), Ben Weaver (McDonough ), Luke Cull (Peachtree City ), Carter Ries (Fayetteville ), and Dylan Benefield (Senoia). There is a secret to these pirates. They are “noblemen who have gone wrong.” Needless to say, there’s romance in the air, and it’s a mystery to the very end as to who will marry who.
