ABOUT THE PLAY:<\/p>\n

Take a whimsical trip to far-away Japan and enjoy THE MIKADO, a deliciously tangled love story which is actually a satire of senseless laws, self-important officials, and political “spin.”<\/p>\n

The Mikado features those favorite G&S characters, Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo, and Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner with his “little list” of potential victims, not to mention the fearsome Katisha, the hilariously ridiculous Pooh-Bah, and the emperor himself, with his own list of punishments to fit the crime. Gilbert’s lyrics and Sullivan’s melodies have delighted over one hundred years of operetta lovers but they are still as fresh as “the flowers that bloom in the spring.”<\/p>\n

Widely agreed to be Gilbert and Sullivan’s masterpiece, THE MIKADO is said to be the most popular operetta ever written.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR:<\/p>\n

After practicing his craft in New York City for many years, Broadway veteran John Wilkerson, along with his wife Margaret Shafer, relocated to Dallas to be closer to family. He completed his graduate work in vocal performance at the State University of New York and place third in the Metropolitan Opera competition. In working with some of the finest performers, directors, choreographers, musical directors, and technicians from the Broadway and British stages, he has worked at every level of performance from major concert halls to cruise ships, Broadway shows, national tours, Las Vegas, and overseas. Recently John joined the staff at Artisan as Artistic Director.<\/p>\n
