We are presenting the original 1879 version of The Pirates of Penzance, rather than the later Broadway adaptation, to honor the authenticity and history of the period.

This historically faithful production will take place on the Howell Opera House’s original 1881 stage, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both cast and audience.

The story and music remain true to the classic, but the design brings a fresh and modern perspective.

The production will feature simple, imaginative sets that highlight the Opera House’s beautiful architecture, rich acoustics, and the timeless magic of the historic space.
