An Afternoon of Extraordinary Music
to Benefit Artistic Excellence

Montclair Women’s Cultural Arts Club
Montclair District, Oakland

At Hidden Treasures, members of The Lamplighters company donate their time and talent to entertain us with music from a wide-ranging repertoire while raising money for the company’s most pressing artistic needs. They will also serve up some of your favorite Gilbert & Sullivan tunes as well as a delicious high tea, fine wines and special surprises.

Box office revenue covers less than half the cost of bringing wonderful G&S shows to life. Events like Hidden Treasures are absolutely essential to keep our company afloat. We invite you to attend Hidden Treasures and support our treasured artists.

A playful tale set in a make-believe Japanese town where flirting is a capital offence, The Mikado is actually a satire on Victorian British society. Nanki-Poo has fallen in love with the beautiful Yum-Yum, fiancée to the Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko. When the Mikado, emperor of Japan, demands the execution of Ko-Ko, and Nanki-Poo volunteers to take Ko-Ko’s place under the condition that he first be allowed to marry Yum-Yum, chaos, desperation, and comical mayhem ensue.

Join the Lamplighters as we celebrate past, present and future. Most of all we celebrate YOU, our loyal patrons. We’ll reminisce, we’ll laugh, and maybe we’ll cry a little as we look back at our first 60 fun-filled years and dream about what’s to come in the next 60. An afternoon guaranteed to be filled with music, true love and laughter! Dinner? Join your favorite Lamplighters after the show at our special Anniversary Celebration Dinner upstairs in the Veterans Building Green Room. Fully catered 3-course meal, fine wines and the best company!

A 20 year old treaty states that Princess Ida and Prince Hilarion are to marry when they come of age. That time has come, but Ida refuses to honor a commitment made on her behalf when she was an infant, and has gone off to the country to start a women's university. There she teaches an interesting variation on Darwin's theory: that man -- not woman, just man -- is descended from apes, and thus are inferior to women. The Prince, on the other hand, is an unabashed romantic, and decides to woo Ida and win her love. He and two friends make their way to the university, where they disguise themselves as women in order to enroll and get close to her…

When you’re in love you just want to share the joy so young Alexis hires a sorcerer to spike the punch at his engagement party with a love potion. It doesn’t work out so well … except for those of us who love Gilbert’s humor and Sullivan’s melodies! Last presented in 1996, it was high time to bring back the magic of The Sorcerer. This semi-staged Jewel Box production brings the wonderful Lamplighters Orchestra onstage and showcases Melissa Wortman’s gorgeous costumes.
