Scenes above from our 2006 production of H.M.S. Pinafore.
Coming Soon! – September 2012
H.M.S. PINAFORE, (or The Lass Who Loved a Sailor) is one of the most cherished Gilbert and Sullivan comedies featuring some of their loveliest songs. The Captain thinks his daughter should marry a Lord. She fancies a common sailor instead. Can true love overcome wealth and class prejudice?
TRIAL BY JURY , a one-act tour de force, is a sendup of Victorian mores by way of the oddest courtroom ever seen on stage. A juicy breach of promise suit, a beautiful plaintiff, an unrepentant defendant, a rebellious jury and an infatuated judge. How will it end?
Since these are two of the shorter Gilbert and Sullivan comedies, we are presenting them together for your enjoyment. The full performance (plus two intermissions) will take almost three hours.
The Connecticut Gilbert and Sullivan Society
performs the comic operettas of the British musical theater duo for the entertainment of audiences drawn from the local community and for comedy lovers from across the state. Our performances feature full professional orchestra, professional-caliber singers, costumes, and sets. These productions are as faithful to the original production values of these works as possible. CG&SS makes its home in Middletown, CT. Performances are in the fall, in the state-of-the-art theater at Middletown High School.
