The sun-drenched setting of Venice comes alive in Houston with The Gondoliers, one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most joyful and dance-infused comic operas. Using the Venetian setting to deliver a biting but lighthearted satire on class and romance, The Gondoliers was W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's twelfth comic opera together, premiering at London's Savoy Theatre in December 1889. The Gilbert & Sullivan society of Houston revive the classic this summer - don't miss it!

David Sedaris is a Grammy Award-nominated humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor. Much of his humor is drawn from his unconventional North Carolina upbringing, his varied stream of odd-jobs (Christmas elf at Macy's, anyone?) and plays to his self-deprecating strengths, and now often concerns his life today in France with his partner.
