| AUDITIONS for The Pirates of Penzance By Gilbert & Sullivan Directed by Paige Fossheim, Music Direction by Winnifred Hume, Choreography by Karen Iwanski Presented LIVE, IN-PERSON at the Pumphouse Theatre Apr 29 - May 14, 2022 For more information (including character descriptions), or to book an audition, visit www.morpheustheatre.ca, call 403-246-2999 or e-mail audition@morpheustheatre.ca. Strike up the band for one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most beloved operettas! The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic “Major-General's Song”. This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong? To add to the topsy-turvy nature of G&S, Morpheus will be flipping the genders of all your favourite characters. Open auditions for all roles will take place: - Thursday Jan 6 (7:00 to 9:30pm) - Sunday Jan 9 (1:00 to 4:00pm) at the Morpheus Rehearsal Centre in Parkdale (3512 - 5th Avenue NW, lower level of the Parkdale Community Centre).
