Aldersgate Church Childrens' Theater hosts a junior version of Gilbert and Sullivan's the Pirates of Penzance. The comic opera is a farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric major general, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 19, 25 and 26. Matinees are at 3 p.m. Jan. 20, 21 and 27. Tickets are $10 per person and are available at www.presaleticketing.com or by
calling 703 660-2611. Web site sales close at 5 p.m. the day before a performance.
The theatre is in Aldersgate United Methodist Church, Wesley Hall, 1301 Collingwood Road, at the intersection of Collingwood and Fort Hunt Road in Mount Vernon.
