ODC Theater: Lamplighters Music Theatre: Iolanthe

Iolanthe, Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved operetta that tells what happens when magical forces come up against the least magical thing in the world: Politics. The half-mortal son of the fairy Iolanthe earns the ire of the British Government when he falls in love with the ward of the Lord Chancellor, and in revenge for the insult, a troupe of Fairies take it upon themselves to turn the Parliamentary system upside-down. In this intimate, wildly theatrical production, a celebration of magic both musical and artistic, the fairies are our storytellers and guides through this chaotic tale of love lost and found, freedom restored, and politicians who don’t stand a chance against a fairy with an agenda. All’s Fairy in Love and War. Music Director: Jennifer Ashworth Stage Director: Ted Zoldan
