Announcing our 2010-2011 Season

Our main performances next season will be the ever-popular The Pirates of Penzance in Summer 2010 and the dark comedy of the Savoy Operas - The Yeomen of the Guard in January/February 2011. And, of course, we'll have another full-length original spoof for you at our 2010 Champagne Gala. We don't know what the subject is since we haven't written it yet but it's guaranteed to be a riot. Stay tuned for more details of another not-to-be-missed season!

Lerner & Loewe and The Lamplighters – Loverly!

The Lamplighters bring their signature flair to one of America’s most beloved musicals – My Fair Lady. George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion rivals the wit and sting of W.S. Gilbert in telling the story of the transformation of a cockney “guttersnipe” into an upper class lady accepted in the best of society. It’s all in the accent and the clothes. I could have danced all night.. Wouldn’t it be loverly.. On the street where you live.. I’ve grown accustomed to her face.. the hit tunes just keep coming in this Broadway classic. Special guest Geoff Hoyle appears as the incorrigible Alfred P. Doolittle.

◊ ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY ◊

After sustaining damage to the main engines and losing their fuel supply during an asteroid storm, Captain James T. Quirk and his landing party beam down onto a strange planet – D’Oyle Quatre - in search of diatonic crystals. According to the ship’s computer files, the planet is likely to be inhabited by singing descendants of humanoids who abandoned San Francisco, Earth to start a new colony in 2009. The crew find themselves in the midst of a never-ending war between factions and to make matters worse a strange portal keeps sucking people out to who-knows-where. Can they save the planet and the ship by ending the war or will the dreaded BORG assimilate the Savoyards and wipe out all traces of their culture? Where on D’Oyle Quatre does that portal go? Can patter survive in a low-oxygen atmosphere? How many redshirts does it take to stage a comic opera? And what is the trouble with trebles anyway?

Patrons are invited to come early to browse the many fabulous items (click here to preview) in our silent auction which includes vacations, lessons, art and music, Lamplighters memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind experiences such as the chance to conduct an overture with our orchestra or a walk-on role in a performance. After the full-length show the audience are invited to join the costumed cast and crew in the green room for a champagne party.

Patience
DIRECTOR: JANE ERWIN HAMMETT ◊ CONDUCTOR: BAKER PEEPLES

Pretentious, phony "artistes"? Guess what, it's nothing new! Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience pokes fun at the aesthetic movement that minced over England in the late 19th century, but it's sure to make you laugh as long as there are self-serving pseudo-poets in the world... and gullible girls to worship them.
