Visit Japan with Freeport Players

The Freeport Performing Arts Center on Holbrook Street will have a Japanese flavor as the Freeport Players will be presenting “The Mikado,” through Aug. 5.

“The Mikado” is a comic opera by the legendary Gilbert and Sullivan, which features plot twists, puns and silliness appropriate for all audiences.

The show is set in the fictional village of Titipu, Japan, where Ko-Ko (Jake Junkins) has been sentenced to death for the capital crime of flirting. The problem is that Ko-Ko is the village’s executioner.

Also, Nanki-Poo (Jonathan Libby), a wandering minstrel, is in love with Yum-Yum (Laura Collard), but Yum-Yum is engaged to Ko-Ko. In his despair, Nanki-Poo agrees to stand in for Ko-Ko and be beheaded to satisfy the Mikado’s demand that an execution take place.

“The Mikado” will run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
