The Summer Youth Theatre gives young performers, ages 10 to 22, the opportunity to gain performance and interpersonal skills as they work with their peers in workshops, rehearsals, and performance.

Set sail with this classic work that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. The wit and whimsy of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic score is given a modern twist in this version, adapted from the original specifically for the students in the Chatham Players Summer Youth Theatre.

The cast features Matt Cutler of Bedminster, Derek Ebner of Bridgewater, Josiah Irwin of Basking Ridge, Finley Olson-Sawyer of Bridgewater, Casey Wellins of Clifton, Ishra Bhandari of Short Hills, and Marin Wilson of Chatham.
