Gilbert and Sullivan round 3

As always this time of year Morpheus Theatre presents a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta at the pumphouse theatre, so I went again. This time, Pirates of Penzance. It was great! And it's actually often nicer seeing this type of show from an amateur company, cause they can tweak the lyrics to mention jarome iginla or johnny depp, or even add a whole extra verse by command of the pirate king. Or playing with two rubber duckies during the "paradox" song and then when the song finishes, having a couple guys in white lab coats walk silently across the back of the stage. (though with G&S stuff that could have even been part of the original plan.)

Ran into someone from undergrad there. Which is interesting cause I ran into someone else from undergrad when I went 2 yrs ago. 2 out of 3 occasions is a pretty big coincidence.

Still overall I liked the first time I went most, for Trial by Jury and HMS Pinafore, despite having to go to that one alone.
