Event Details
Bring your camera and get the cast's view from the deck of the Pinafore. This Gilbert & Sullivan classic takes place on Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore. The captain's daughter, Josephine, is in love with a common sailor, but her father has a more sophisticated suitor in mind. Do the sailor and Josephine overturn conventional social order? A surprise ending turns the mates of the Pinafore on their heads.
