Mikado at Potomac Theatre Company

Long-term readers of Inverness Forest Today will remember that I am the photographer for two local community theater companies: The Potomac Theatre Company and the Victorian Lyric Opera Company. When one of these theater companies has a particularly good production, I write a blog post to let you know.

This time, both of these theater companies have combined forces to create a memorable production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado".

The show opened last weekend and the audiences, judging by the applause, seemed very happy with the production.  The final performances will be this weekend at the Bullis School, about 8 minutes from Inverness Forest.

The Mikado is a story of two young lovers who triumph in the end after overcoming numerous obstacles and a case or two of mistaken identity.  Among the humorous plot twists in the case of the Ko Ko, the royal executioner, who tries to figure out how to chop off his own head.  The story is summarized in this Wikipedia article:
