\u201cThe Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty\u201d tells the story of Frederic, who is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates and meets Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. The two young people fall instantly in love, but their romance is complicated by the news that Frederic\u2019s indenture to the pirates isn\u2019t quite as finished as he thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good, clean, wholesome family fare,\u201d said Don Lillie, director of the show and chair of the Department of Theatre, Cinema and Dance. \u201cWe\u2019ve got beautiful women, eccentric pirates, Keystone Cops, and of course the \u2018very model of a modern Major-General.\u2019 Audiences are going to love this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
