H.M.S. PINAFORE
W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
Known as one of the “Big Three” of the Gilbert and Sullivan canon, Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan’s first international sensation. Full of wonderful songs, drama and comedy, social conflict, and some of the male chorus music in the canon! With new men’s costumes to complete a historically accurate vision of the show, this production of Pinafore is sure to be a delight!

CHAMPAGNE GALA
You laughed uproariously at our recent TRIAL by JURY DUTY, which was created for a past gala. This year the Lamplighters Champagne Gala will revisit another favorite theme with a new look at Downton Abbey; what will they do this time??? Join the fun and help us raise money, too!
Our largest fundraiser of the year includes a complete, original comedy set to Sullivan’s music, live auction, silent auction, and raffle prizes. We have all sorts of treasures available for patrons of the arts to enjoy and simultaneously support our company!

PRINCESS IDA
W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
Originally written as a satire on feminism, women’s education, and Darwinian evolution, Lamplighters’ own version modifies this slightly
to reflect modern views. In this year with so many women running for president, it will be fun to see what Gilbert and Sullivan and Lamplighters will create together on these oh, so timely topics!
