Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Maine: The Sorcerer

  • 165 Main St Ellsworth Maine (map)

On the Stanley Subaru Stage

Pay-what-you-wish open dress rehearsal Thursday, March 7th 7:00 pm.

Best-laid plans go comically awry when love-addled do-gooder Alexis sets out to abolish the artificial barriers of rank, wealth, beauty, and age in his sleepy English village by enchanting the unmarried townsfolk to fall madly in love with each other en masse from peer to pauper. With his reluctantly supportive fiancée Aline at his side, Alexis hires the local sorcerer and dealer in magic and spells, J.W. Wells, to spike the townsfolk’s tea with his patent, love-at-first-sight potion. With a demon-summoning sorcerer offering reasonable rates and bulk discounts, a tampered teapot, and a town incapacitated by an impending onslaught of weddings, this satire on polite English society in the vein of The Importance of Being Ernest and Downton Abbey will delight the whole family!

$20 for adults, $12 for students, and $8 for age 12 and under Reserved Seating
