Bunch—The
Pump Room
A spirited romp with pirates and maidens on the isle of Penzance!
Stash the gold! Guard the women! Hide the rum! The “Pirates”
have arrived! Set sail across our open stage on this swashbuckling
Gilbert and Sullivan adventure loaded with enough laughs to fill
Davey Jones’ locker. It follows the fortunes of Frederic, a young lad
who is mistakenly apprenticed to the Pirate King. When Frederic
falls for the lovely Mabel, whose father is the very model of a modern Major General, a tempest brews on the sea of love. Full of roving rogues and dazzling damsels in distress, it’s a treasure chest
full of mischievous musical mayhem.
Please select from Oven Roast Turkey Breast with Gravy or Poached Filet of Salmon
for your entrée. Salad, mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables will be served with
both entrees.

‘Tis like the birthday
of the world,
When earth was
born in bloom;
The light is made of
many dyes,
The air is all perfume.
There’s crimson
buds, and white and
blue,
The very rainbow
showers have turned
to blossoms where
they fell,
And sown the earth
with flowers.
