“The Pirates of Penzance, Jr.” comes to the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, Colorado August 15 and 16

The Vail Performing Arts Academy will sing their version of “The Pirates of Penzance” on Saturday, August 15 at 6:30pm and August 16 at 2pm and 6:30pm. The show will be at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, and the cost is $10.

The Academy presents Gilbert and Sullivan’s most beloved operetta in a special adaptation for younger voices. Wacky, irreverent and entertaining, “The Pirates Of Penzance” spins a hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. Written in 1879. For details and tickets, www.vilarpac.org – 888.920.ARTS (2787)
