Pirates!
The musical is coming along fairly well, although the three and a half hour rehearsals are getting old very fast. The run for The Pirates of Penzance, SK will start June 22 and go through to June 30 with a show every night at 8pm except Sunday when there will be a 2pm matinee (I don’t know if tickets will be cheaper for this show). The show will be performed at Castle theatre in Aden Bowman Collegiate and tickets are available by calling ticketmaster or at Place Riel on campus.
Right now you may be asking yourself a plethora of questions: Why should I come to this crazy play? Didn’t you swear off dramatic productions? Do the pirates show lots of chest hair? And of course, what’s the SK for? Gilbert and Sullivan didn’t have that in their title.
The answers are as follows: You should come to this musical because it features incredible talented actors and singers performing such viciously witty dialogue as
Male Lead: “Stop ladies pray!”
Chorus of Women: “A man!”
Yes, I did swear off musicals after my very frustrating experiences with The Wizard of Oz and As You Like It. However, I spent fours years without being involved in any dramatic productions and therefore managed to entirely forget the reasons why I became disenchanted in the first place (although now they’re all coming back to me). Chest Hair? Of course we have chest hair! We’re manly pirates! Come check all the chest hair, pierced ears and beards that you ever wanted to see on your men.
What was that? I haven’t answered your final question? Why the answer is as simple as the romantic dialogue in Revenge of the Sith (which you all must watch by the way). In honour of Saskatchewan’s centennial year we’re setting this profound G & S classic in 1905 Saskatchewan complete with a rousing version of The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by the AW and more anachronisms and insults to local geography then a sexy Saskatchewan history buff could ever want.
I therefore implore you, my dearest friends to purchase your tickets now, before it’s too late. If you need more encouragement it can be arranged for a band of half-drunk, weapon-toting privateers to intrude upon your dwelling place. . . .
