The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players (NYGASP) will present six performances of “The Pirates of Penzance,” January 4-5 & January 11-12, at John Jay College’s Gerald W. Lynch Theater (524 West 59th Street.)
On the coast of Cornwall, a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrates the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. Now, Frederic has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of piracy, until a ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life!
The cast includes Claire Leyden and Sophie Thompson as Mabel, James Mills as Major-General Stanley, Angela Christine Smith as Ruth, David Auxier Sergeant of Police, David Wannen and Matthew Wages as the brash Pirate King, Alex Corson as duty bound pirate apprentice Frederic, Adam Hirama Wells as pirate side kick Samuel, Alexandra Imbrosci-Viera and Katie Hall as Kate, Hannah Holmes as Edith, and Laura Sudduth and Caitlin Borek as Isabel,
The ensemble includes Matthew Carter, Michael J. Connolly, Hannah Eakin, Sarah Hutchison, Sabrina Lopez, John Charles McLaughlin, Lance Olds, Patrick Lord-Remmert, and Cameron Smith.
Founder and Artistic Director Albert Bergeret shares the conductor’s podium with Associate Conductor Joseph Rubin conducting the 25-piece orchestra performing Sullivan’s original orchestrations. In addition, choreographer David Auxier re-stages Bill Fabris’ original choreography.
