Central Stage Theatre of County Kitsap [Now Playing

The team of Gilbert & Sullivan tells the story of a young pirate apprentice named Frederic (Justin Beal) who has come to the end of his indentured period. Frederic was indentured by mistake. His half deaf nurse, Ruth (Marissa Whelan) had been instructed to apprentice him to a "pilot" but got it slightly wrong. Frederic decides to leave the pirate life forever though he loves his comrades and their charismatic leader, the Pirate King (Brandon Myers). Once upon the shore, Frederic stumbles upon a bevy of beautiful maidens. He falls in love with Mabel, (Christie Ferguson) who offers to reclaim the "Poor Wandering One." What Frederic has forgotten is that there are pirates about! Suddenly his old comrades are upon them! They are delighted by the maidens' beauty and recognize the situation as a "first rate opportunity of getting married with impunity." But the girls' father, Major-General Stanley, (Matt Borer) arrives and claims untruthfully to be an orphan, and wins a brief reprieve from the soft hearted orphaned pirates. The General is terrified that the pirates will uncover his lie, but Frederic eases his fears, promising to apprehend the band of pirates and put an end to their plundering. When Frederic learns that, due to a technicality, he is still indentured to the pirates, the complications (and laughter) abound.
