The Pirates of Penzance

A hearing mistake  means a boy indentured to a pirate not a ship’s pilot.

Pirate or pilot, orphan or  often — the problem’s in the pronunciation. And so the bumbling misadventures begin – musical muddles that only the name of Queen Victoria can quell.

The fifth and sixth grade did Gilbert and Sullivan proud.  Double casting meant that every student had a role in a performance over the weekend and today for an all-school performance.
