will be expected to contribute time to the mounting of the production
(sets, costumes, marketing, sales, etc.) in addition to rehearsal and
performance time.

PLOT SUMMARY:
Our two Gondolier heroes, Marco and Giuseppe, have it all. They are
incredibly handsome, sing magnificently, have beautiful brides... and of
course get to sing in boats. Most importantly one of them is even the
King of Barataria! But which one is it, Marco or Giuseppe? Everyone
wants to know!

The Duke of Plaza Toro wants to know because his family's fortune
depends upon him!

The Grand Inquisitor wants to know because his confusion must be
resolved by him!

Beautiful Casilda wants to know because she must marry him (and won't
his current wife be surprised)!

Come join the fun as they sing and dance their way from the Piazettas
of Italy to the Courts of Barataria, solving the mystery without
missing a beat of Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderful score. The
Gondoliers features a full orchestra, a full chorus, and is fully
entertaining.
