Take to the sea with the Toledo Repertoire Theater on a wavy trip through the muddy waters of love, promises, eye patches, and unfortunate birthdays. The Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty, starts off the Rep’s 82nd season on a note that might rock the boat but will surely entertain audiences. The hilarious comic opera tells the story of Young Frederic, eager to marry after his 21-year apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. Just before smooth sailing, Frederic discovers his February 29th birthday requires both him and the one he loves to take a leap of faith. Will love wait 63 years for his real 21st birthday?
