cast of ‘Pirates of Penzance’
FLORENCE — Prepare for high energy
on the high seas with Last Resort Players’
“Pirates of Penzance,” sailing into the
Florence Events Center this November.
The creative team that brought “Les
Misérables” to local audiences has gath-
ered a stellar cast of new and old faces to
bring Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic comic
opera of a band of pirates, faithful daugh-
ters and a very modern major general in a
comedy of epic proportions.
“Pirates of Penzance” will star Sandy
Vaccaro as the Pirate King, Jim
Wellington as the major general, Dana
Rodet as the sergeant, Patrick Rowley as
Samuel and Sean Abplanalp as Frederic, a
young pirate apprentice in love.
Hilary Roach plays Mabel, daughter of
the major general, and Abplanap’s real-
life best friend.
“I’m thrilled to be acting opposite one
of my best friends, Sean,” Roach said. “In
addition, I am so excited to be working
with Leah Goodwin, Laura Merz and this
fabulous cast and crew, many of whom I
worked with in ‘Les Mis.’”
The major general’s other daughters
include Kate, played by Erin Leonard,
Edith, played by Taylor Winona, and
Isabel, played by Lilly Cox.
Crystal Farnsworth stars as Ruth,
Frederic’s nursemaid.
The “Pirates of Penzance” pirate chorus
includes Jim Adie, James Bonisteel, Ceasar
Castillo, David Collins, Butch Goodwin,
Paul Guthmuller, Grant Harmond, Danial
Keppol, Dorland Neale, Annie Schmidt, Sue
Sweatt and Sally Wantz. The women’s cho-
rus includes Karin Bigler, Johanna
Bonisteel, Shy Coverdale, Alison Cox,
Tanya Garrett, Jessalynn Keppol, Karylynn
Keppol, Lyndsey Keppol, Erin Leonard,
Alizabeth Norton, Joanie Schmidt and
Myrna Lee Sullivan.
Last Resort Players will play “Pirates
of Penzance” at Florence Events Center,
715 Quince St., the weekends of Nov. 4 to
6 and 11 to 13, with evening and matinee
