All aboard, Austin, for the musical comedy of the summer! It’s time to set sail with H.M.S. Pinafore — the original rom-com of the high seas! Gilbert & Sullivan Austin presents the 2025 summer grand production at The MacTheatre at McCallum Fine Arts Academy over two weekends in June.

 

Only 7 chances to catch this laugh-out-loud, toe-tapping romp full of satire, sailors, and soaring melodies.

Steeped in tradition with a few twists, this classic musical comedy features an 18-piece orchestra and a cast of 24 – and feels just as fresh today as when it debuted in 1878. Whether you're a Gilbert & Sullivan fan or just love a good time, this show is for you. And as you’ll see: “love levels all ranks.”

Come experience what makes Gilbert & Sullivan timeless! Show dates: Fri-Sun, June 13-15 & Thurs-Sun, June 19-22. Evenings at 7:30pm, and matinees at 2:00pm. All Performances Supertitled. Reserved Seating $12-$42.


H.M.S. Pinafore's humour focuses on love between members of different social classes and lampoons the British class system. It also pokes good-natured fun at patriotism, party politics, the Royal Navy, and the rise of unqualified people to positions of authority. The style of Gilbert & Sullivan operas, particularly Pinafore, contributed significantly to the development of modern musical theatre.
