Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. (2 p.m. on Sundays) in Mago Hunt Center Theater. Like Mock’s Crest’s usual Gilbert and Sullivan fare, The Light in the Piazza is about true love. Based on a novella by Elizabeth Spencer, the story is set in the 1950s and revolves around Margaret Johnson, a wealthy Southern woman, and Clara, her daughter, who through coincidence and fate sparks an immediate and intense romance with a local young man while traveling in Italy. Margaret, extremely protective of her daughter, attempts to keep Clara and Fabrizio apart.
