San Marcos —
San Marcos Academy will present the Gilbert and Sullivan classic “The Pirates of Penzance” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16-18 on the stage of the Robinson Christian Center on the Academy campus.
This comic opera revolves around Frederic, whose apprenticeship to a group of pirates is coming to an end until a leap year loophole threatens to keep him bound for life. Falling for the beautiful daughter of the Major General, Frederic must determine how to reconcile his sense of duty with his love for Mabel.
Battles, betrayal and betrothals ensue before the conflicts are resolved and love wins the day.
San Marcos students participating in the cast include Emma Belzung (Ruth), Andrew Hansen (Samuel), Sarah Gonzales (Mabel) and Ben Findley-Cohen (Sergeant of Police), all of San Marcos. Zane Shirley of Kyle is the Pirate King and Adam Rollins of Wimberley is Frederick.
