Join GSSME at The Grand theater in Ellsworth, Maine for our March performance of Princess Ida!
Princess Ida will have an open dress rehearsal on Thursday, March 5 at 7pm and will continue with shows on Fridays March 6 and 13 at 7pm and Saturdays and Sundays March 7, 8, 14, and 15 at 2pm.
Princess Ida has rejected the rule of men, and the marriage contract forced upon her in infancy. But when the time comes to fulfill it, her defiance may spark a war.
When Ida fails to appear for the long-promised wedding, her determined suitor, Hilarion, disguises himself and his companions as women and infiltrates Castle Adamant, a university devoted entirely to women. Once their deception is exposed, Ida and her peers face an impossible choice: should she surrender her ideals and accept Hilarion’s devotion, or stand firm and risk war between two stubborn kings—and the destruction of the university she loves?
A satirical take on patriarchy, romance, battle, and education, Gilbert and Sullivan's Princess Ida is sure to delight the whole family!
