SILVERDALE — “The Pirates of Penzance,” Central Stage Theatre of County Kitsap’s annual Kids for Kids production, swings through the theatre this month.

“The Pirates of Penzance” features the story of Frederic, whose father instructs his nurse to have the boy apprenticed as a pilot. The nurse mistakenly believes the father says “pirate” and binds the boy to a zany band of pirates until his 21st birthday. The topsy-turvy plot involving a band of orphaned pirates who are distinctly deficient in cut-throatedness, a major general who doesn’t know his rifles from his javelins, the flat-footed constable, a bevy of blushing maidens, and the dashing Frederic, who – born on leap year – may be age 21, or only “five and a little bit over.”

Opening night is Friday, June 19, with additional performance on June 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 and July 2, 3 and 5. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances are at 4 p.m. A special American Sign Language performance will be hosted on Saturday, June 27.

“The Pirates of Penzance” remains an all-time popular favorite. Come enjoy familiar tunes such as the patter-song “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General,” “Poor Wand’ring One” and “When a felon’s not engaged in his employment.”

This revival of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic musical comedy shines with wit, upbeat singing and a sensational cast of local talent.

The play is directed by Daniel Estes with vocal direction by Christine Pence Usher and choreography by Becca Ewen.

Ticket prices range from $8-$15. Family passes can be purchased at the door. Tickets and show information are available online at www.cstock.org.

This is CSTOCK’s last main stage production at the Silverdale Community Center.  CSTOCK has been leasing its current 165-seat theater facility in the Silverdale Community Center from Kitsap County for 23 years. The building closure is imminent due to water damage to the community center.
