The Musical Theatre Alliance of Arizona is proud to present a one-night-only symphonic performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera The Pirates of Penzance on Saturday, April 5 at 7:00 PM at All Saints Lutheran Church, 15649 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ.
About the show:
The Pirates of Penzance is a beloved operetta filled with witty satire, rapid-fire patter songs, and swashbuckling adventure. The story follows Frederic, a young man mistakenly apprenticed to a band of softhearted pirates, as he navigates duty, love, and absurd legal technicalities. Featuring a rollicking score and a chorus of pirates, maidens, and policemen, this Showcase performance will bring Gilbert and Sullivan’s timeless humor to life with a 30-piece full orchestra and nearly 100 singers.
Event Details:
• Date: Saturday, April 5, 2025
• Time: 7:00 PM
• Location: All Saints Lutheran Church, 15649 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ
