H.M.S. Pinafore at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 28-May 2

H.M.S. Pinafore at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 28-May 21

H.M.S. Pinafore
Gilbert and Sullivan
Directed by Michael Hartsfield
Produced by Maureen Rogers
Musical Director: Mimi McGinnis assisted by Billy Georg

April 28 – May 21, 2017

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

Gilbert and Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic operetta and the proud parents of the modern musical. That their works are more in demand today than when they were created over a century ago is ample proof of their lasting brilliance. H. M. S. PINAFORE answers the burning question of who, among equals, is the most equal, but only when the men of the mismatched couples discover they were switched in their cradles as infants.

Produced by special arrangement with R&H. Performances run weekends from Friday April 28, 2017 through Sunday May 21, 2017 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $20 for general admission. Admission for students (12 and under), active duty military and seniors (65 and over) is $15. Tickets can be purchased here.

BSU Theatre and Wonderworks presents:
Cinderella, The Remix

Wednesday, April 19, 2017, 7:30pm
Thursday, April 20, 2017, 11:00am and 1:00pm

Saturday, April 22, 2017, 11:00am and 1:00pm

Cinderella, The Remix, written by Psalmayene 24, is a new take on a classic story. There’s no Prince Charming to chase, only the chance to live out the dream of becoming a beat-mixing queen in this girl-powered, music and dance update of the classic fairy tale. Cinderella lives in her stepmother’s basement, practicing her craft at the turntable, since girls aren’t allowed to DJ. But when the super-famous J Prince announces a contest to play his latest jam, Cinderella disguises herself as a boy to compete, and with some help from her Fairy Godmother Hoperah, she gets her chance to spin — at least until midnight.

Wonderworks, a theater for the very young program, involves stories, songs, movement and activities for toddlers through preschool-age children and adults to enjoy together.

Fine and Performing Arts Center, Black Box Theatre, Bowie State University.
