Frenzied by the approaching attempt to capture the pirates, the Keystone Kops unite in song. Eric Graves. Steve Cobb, and Julie Kennedy share the spotlight in the lead roles of Pirates of Penzance The many young wards of Major General Stanley share a light moment before discovering they share an island with pirates. The 1987 fall musical featured a fierce band of pirates, an innocent group of pretty wards, and a bunch of zany cops in The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. The large cast began work in September and went through two months of hard rehearsals under hot lights. Practices frequently began at 5:30 and often lasted until 10:00 P.M. The roles were varied with a large support cast including three large groups: the Key- stone Kops, the pirates, and the young ladies left in the dubious care of Major General Stanley. The lead roles were aptly filled with the acting skills and strong voices of Steve Cobb as Frederic, Nicole Crager as Mabel, Eric Graves as the pirate king, Julie Kennedy as Frederic’s guardian, and Rob Pyatt as the Major General.
