The Pirates of Penzance Returns to UTA

The University of Texas at Arlington’s Maverick Theatre Company in association with UTA’s Department of Music proudly presents THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE with book and lyrics by Sir William S. Gilbert and music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE follows young Frederic who has turned 21 and thus completed his apprenticeship to a band of kindhearted pirates. He falls for Mabel, the lovely daughter of law-enforcer Major-General Stanley, only to learn that his birthday falls on February 29, which means through a leap year loophole he is technically still a pirate. It’s a hilarious farce with sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, and an eccentric Major-General.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is presented in the UTA Mainstage Theatre (Fine Arts Building, North Section, Room 174) located at 502 South Cooper Street on the UTA campus. Performances are February 27, 28, & 29, 2020 at 7:30 pm, and March 1, 2020 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $12 for the general public and $10 for students/senior citizens/UTA faculty & staff. Groups of 10 or more can use the code PPGRP for $10 tickets. For tickets please call 817-272-9595 or visit UTAtickets.com.

UTA's Department of Theatre Arts Presents the World Premiere of "Monster Lagoon"

MavPlays 2020 spotlights the world premiere of the original work Monster Lagoon written by UTA’s playwright-in-residence, Dr. Natalie Gaupp. In this play, Lainie Jorgenson flips houses and she’s damned good at it. But Lainie’s about to meet her match at the homestead of the dearly departed Samuel Tanner. She’s about to climb into an attic and discover Sam’s old sketchbooks, full of 1950s Hollywood Sci-Fi monsters. Lainie’s about to enter Monster Lagoon, a place where Sam kept his dreams and nightmares…and where Lainie will finally confront her most painful childhood memories.

Monster Lagoon will be presented in UTA Stage 143 Theatre (Fine Arts Building, North Section, Room 143) located at 502 South Cooper Street on the UTA campus. Performances of Monster Lagoon are February 13, 14, & 15 at 7:30 pm, and February 15 & 16 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $5 general admission. For tickets please call 817-272-9595 or visit UTAtickets.com.
