John Philip Sousa’s El Capitan

Friday, October 8, 2010 and Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 8 pm

Is he the leader of his country…or the leader of the rebel opposition…or both? Accompany the adventures of the cavalier and conniving “Don Medigua” in John Philip Sousa’s classic piece of American musical theater, written in the style of Gilbert & Sullivan. All’s well that ends well with tangled tales of love, politics, and a happily ever after.

Prior to the Saturday evening performance director Vern Sutton will be our guest for a Concert Conversation at 7 pm.
