In 2025 we will be performing "HMS Pinafore" (or The Lass That Loved a Sailor).

"HMS Pinafore" is a hilarious tale of love, honour and duty. The story goes something like this.

Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran, falls for lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw. However, she’s torn between her true love, and her father’s desire for her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty.
