Pirates of Penzance

The fearsome pirates (above) cavort on the stage of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center on Friday evening, while the daughters of Major-General Stanley (below) dance along the beach during Friday night’s performance of Pirates of Penzance. Those who attended the performance were entertained by the humor and the music of one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular operettas. (Photos by Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
