Pirates follows the story of young Frederic who, as a child, was mistakenly apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates. Upon completion of his apprenticeship on his 21st birthday, Frederic is released from his servitude. Soon after, he meets the fair maiden Mabel, daughter of Major-General Stanley. The two fall instantly in love; but, alas, a complication arises. It turns out that young Frederic was born on February 29th during leap year. As a result, even though he is 21 years old, he has only had five birthdays and is in fact indebted to serve the pirates for 63 more years.
The cast features Luke Goodman as Frederic, Suzie Herman as Mabel, Jeremiah Plessinger as the Pirate King, Alexis Colon as the Nursemaid Ruth, Ben Pyle as Major General Stanley, and Gabbi Dowdy as Sergeant of the Penzance Police. Other cast members include Savanah Winfield, Shannon Bidwell, Carly Wheeler, Roman Fleetwood, Laura Brown, Rachel Shook, Hannah Saxe, Shannon Davis, Alex Roach, Tyler Brown, Eric Marcum, Matt Wright, Andrew Karas, Brianna Grooms, Brianne Hodges, Abigail Watkins, Monika Schilling, Mbalen Hwloungne, Taylor Flynn, Lexi Moore, and Carolyn Herman.
"I have been amazed by the way that the cast has enjoyed the challenge of this beautiful, but difficult music," observed director Dean Sellers, "and how quickly they've learned to appreciate the wonderful British humor of a show written in 1879. Think of this as the Victorian era equivalent of 'The Carol Burnett Show' and 'Veggie Tales' all rolled into one!"
