The Community Arts Council of Blount County Proudly Presents
Pirates of Penzance
September 26-28 & October 3-5, 2025
Gilbert and Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic operetta and the proud parents of the modern musical. That their works are more in demand today than when they were created over a century ago is ample proof of their lasting brilliance. When the hero of The Pirates of Penzance was but a boy, his father instructed his nurse to have him apprenticed as a pilot. She thought he said 'pirate' and thus the zany troubles began.

Reviews
- "One of the most beloved shows in the English speaking world... The musical defies categorization and has a combination of music including arias, ballades, choruses and four part harmonies. There is sharp dialogue, a twisting plot and clever lyrics." — Richard Connema, TalkinBroadway.com
- "Pirates remains indestructible and G&S can survive anything." — Peter G. Davis, New York Magazine
