The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Austin presents an exciting afternoon of vocal performances of G&S classics by stars from previous grand productions.

The Society continues its tradition of a leap year celebration, with music and merriment for Frederic, the hapless reformed pirate from The Pirates of Penzance, whose birthday - in a paradoxical twist of fate-is Leap Day.

Austin can't miss this rare opportunity to hear those glorious voices that we haven't heard in some time-singing your favorite songs from Patience (our Summer 2012 Grand Production coming in June), Ruddigore, The Gondoliers, The Sorcerer, The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore and, of course, The Pirates of Penzance.

It's all Gilbert & Sullivan from Stacey Amorous, Carol Nelson Brown, Trey Deason, Dan Girardot, Debra Johnson, Ezra Johnson, Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, Glay Posch, Meredith Ruduski, and Katharine Shields, with the undeniable talents of Marti Dudgeon at the piano (Mary Parse also accompanies).

Yes, you read that right - Jeffrey Jones-Ragona (GSSA Music Director and Conductor) - out of the pit and on the stage!



Audience favorite Janette Jones is producer and mistress of ceremonies, and Artistic Director Rafe MacPhail will make a special appearance. This performance is free.
