HMS PINAFORE Gilbert and 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 unforgettable songs, drama and comedy, social conflict, and some of the best 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!

FEBRUARY 2020
PRINCESS IDA Gilbert and 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!
