Additional Information

Gee ‘n Ess & “I” is a one-man musical show five years in the making that highlights 11 of the light comic operas of W.S. Gilbert (“Gee”) and Arthur Sullivan (“Ess”) including: The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore. The show is a culmination of community talent, years of planning and a deep appreciation for Gilbert and Sullivan and the impact they had on the Arts (all “4” of them!). 

The live, on-stage “I”, (that is, George Jarden) (who wrote the show along with director David Edwards), sings, dances, acts and interacts with himself in pre-videoed musical and dramatic vignettes (played by himself) projected above the stage.  Also on video are a variety of still-art cartoons and caricatures by Flo Hosa Dougherty, and text titles and notes identifying songs and moments, complementing the on stage and moving video action.  ”Gee ‘n Ess & ‘I’” features portions of some 70 G&S songs and acting bits, and a like number of roles!
