The Strand Center Theatre presents New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players’

Strand 2The Wand’ring Minstrels The Pirates of Penzance and An Evening of G&S Favorites

PLATTSBURGH, NY – On Saturday, March 12, 2016, The newly renovated Strand Center Theatre presents an evening celebrating the legacy of Gilbert & Sullivan in musical theatre. The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players will perform the first act of Pirates of Penzance to be followed by a Gilbert & Sullivan repertoire including audience requests.

Pirates of Penzance is story about a young man named Fredric who is released from his apprenticeship to a band of soft hearted pirates on his 21st year. He soon meets Mabel, the daughter of a Major General, and they instantly fall in love. A cruel twist of fate reveals that Fredric was indeed born on February 29th making his birthday fall on a leap year therefore he is bound to his contract to remain with the pirates until his 21st birthday in another 63 years. Due to his sense of loyalty and duty he reluctantly rejoins the pirates as Mabel promises to faithfully wait for him.

All the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players are uniquely skilled in the Gilbert & Sullivan (G&S) style, presenting satirical, sentimental, and rousing Gilbert & Sullivan favorites with style and flair. Costume elements, props and choreography provide the visual pop which turns each event into a celebration, with the camaraderie and spontaneous banter of the Wand’ring Minstrels adding an extra measure of froth to the proceedings.

Each of the Wand’ring Minstrels is a leading performer from the acclaimed New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players company with a long list of G&S roles in repertory. This provides the flexibility to perform varying programs and the ability to rise to the challenge of surprise requests from the audience, a tour-de-force featured segment in most programs of this lively ensemble. This wonderful opportunity allows audiences to make requests of personal favorites from the G&S repertory while performed entirely impromptu!
