Encore Stage & Studio is excited to announce Helen Hayes Award Winners Chris Sizemore and Erin Driscoll to star as Frederic and Mabel. For the first time in Encore history, our cast and crew will learn from professional actors throughout the production process! Encore also welcomes Evan Hoffmann as director of The Pirates of Penzance.
Those wishing to audition should come prepared to dance, as well as to sing and read from the libretto. A callback will be held on Thursday, June 7 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre. Interested crew members must attend either of the above audition dates to interview with the Technical Director.
In this production, Handsome young Frederic has just finished an apprenticeship with a band of silly pirates. When he falls in love with the beautiful Mabel Stanley, however, he discovers that he must stay with the pirates until his 21st birthday—but he was born on Leap Day! This classic musical by Gilbert and Sullivan, the first ever produced by Encore, features plenty of swashbuckling and is sure to delight the whole family!
