Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Sorcerer is a charmingly absurd comedy of love, class, and magical matchmaking. When Alexis commissions a love potion for his entire village, his idealism gives way to wildly mismatched romances and comic chaos, all set to sparkling music and sharp satire.
November 13, 14, and 15, 2026, the Company’s immersive, semi-improvised production welcomes audiences as guests at Alexis and Aline’s wedding. Join the festivities and interact with the characters, or simply enjoy the story unfolding around you. Participation is entirely optional, and seating at this intimate private event is limited.
