When fickle fairies butt heads with pontificating politicians, when misunderstanding leads to a lovers’ quarrel, and when old friends vie for the attention of a lady, mayhem ensues! Gilbert’s witty dialogue paired with Sullivan’s lush score will lead to an evening of frivolity and delight! Iolanthe was performed February 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12, 2022.
Artistic Direction by Ann Fredrickson
