      The story of The Mikado revolves around a young fellow named Nanki-Poo who has banished himself from the little town of Titipu. Nanki-Poo, it seems, has fallen in love with a beautiful young lady called Yum-Yum. Unfortunately, Yum-Yum is engaged to be married to her guardian, the tailor Ko-Ko. However, when Nanki-Poo hears that Ko-Ko has been condemned to death for the capital crime of flirting, he hastily returns to Titipu, only to learn that Ko-Ko has not only been granted a reprieve, but has been promoted to the post of Lord High Executioner. Apparently, those in power, wishing to slow down the rash of executions, reason that since Ko-Ko was next in line for execution, he can't cut off anyone else's head until he cuts off his own!

      And the fun pursues from there.
      Don't miss this colorful and vibrant production and features a cast of 25.

      Directed by Michael Sanders and Choreographed by Anna Mortlock who gave us the multi Napta award winning production of "The Boyfriend" last year it promises to be a fun night out. With Musical Direction by Riette Ferriera and vocal coaching by Harold Lawton.
