 It is a beautiful day in 1880. Frederic is celebrating his 21st birthday, marking the completion of his apprenticeship to the Pirate King, and he's in love for the first time. But wait... all isn't going quite as well as planned. Something about a leap year, lies to his new love's father, and a bit of a battle between the pirates and the police.

Will the pirates and police make peace? Will Frederic and Mabel be together... before 1940? Come enjoy the swashbuckling pirates, the bumbling bobbies, the beautiful young maidens, and, of course, the Modern Major General, in The Pirates of Penzance!
