The Pirates of Penzance

Washington Savoyards enjoyed two magnificent performances at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland, College Park.

On Saturday June 7, the Savoyards' production of The Pirates of Penzance served as the focus around which the Clarice Smith Center raised $420,000 for performing arts scholarships.

On Sunday June 8, we performed to a sold- out house in the Jack & Ina Kay Theatre.
