The UNLV Performing Arts Center is proud to welcome the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players in The Pirates of Penzance, joined by a live orchestra, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 9 in Artemus Ham Concert Hall. Join the band of swashbuckling buccaneers, bumbling British bobbies, frolicsome Victorian maidens, and the delightfully dotty “model of a modern Major-General” for a rollicking romp over the rocky coast of Cornwall.
Now in its 44th year of operation, New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players (NYGASP) is America’s preeminent professional Gilbert & Sullivan repertory ensemble. Under the dynamic leadership of artistic director Albert Bergeret, who has been hailed as “the leading custodian of the G&S classics” by New York Magazine, NYGASP has created its own special niche in the cultural mosaic of New York City and the nation. Since its founding in 1974, the company has presented more than 2,000 performances of the G&S masterpieces throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom captivating audiences of all ages.
