Mason Players Present THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

They are “climbing over rocky mountains”, “ploughing the sea”, and “moving forward on the foe” to bring you THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.

Mason Community Players presents this renowned Gilbert and Sullivan classic July 18, 19, 24, 25 & 26 at 8:00 PM and July 20 at 2:00 PM at the Mason Community Playhouse, 5529 Mason Road in Mason.

The show tells the tale of Frederic, who has spent his formative years as a pirate apprentice. He plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King and beginning his courtship of Mabel. Alas, because he was born on February 29, a date that only arrives every fourth year, Frederic isn’t “technically” 21 – and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father, a “modern” Major General. Who will win the day?

Director Lara Gonzalez, with Producer Robert Terry and Music Director Brian Bisig, invite you to experience the fun and frivolity of this farcical comic opera, which has delighted audiences since New Year’s Eve of 1879. Lara is bringing a twist to the show, establishing a zombie pirate crew. Appearing in this production are Jack Verner as Frederic, Nicole Line as Mabel, Justin Hanks as The Pirate King, David Bower as General Stanley, and Ryan Walker as the Sergeant.

Any questions can be directed to Darren Lee, vnpdlc@gmail.com

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is a chilling tale that follows four people as they stay in a supposedly haunted mansion. ​Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted, but all having their particular reasons for accepting Dr. Montague’s invitation to share his Hill House sojourn.

BLITHE SPIRIT Runs April 25-May 3

Directed by Susan Berger
Produced by Eric Grimm

Cast: Darren Lee as Charles, Sonya Neff as Ruth, Ashley Herbert as Elvira, Anecia Johnson as Madame Arcati, Andrew Schiltz as Dr. Bradman, Gail Rudolph as Mrs. Bradman & Lisa White as Edith

A smash comedy hit, this much-revived classic concerns cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles’ shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric Madame Arcati.
