This New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players production is your chance to get carried away by Pirates.

Waitress: Feb. 27, 2027
Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage.

Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
