And now for something completely different at the Fringe: Gilbert and Sullivan! The duo's only one-act operetta, a courtroom tale of broken marital promises, gets a rollicking and effervescent staging by the Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company. The stage brims with jurymen, barristers, bridesmaids, floozies, choristers and a 12-piece orchestra. And, oh yes, a judge — an ineffectual and lecherous drunk embodied by the reliably excellent Steve Hendrickson. If you prefer your G&S in small bites, or just like gut-busting entertainment, this is your show. (4 p.m. Sat., 8:30 p.m. Sun., 8:30 p.m. Thu., 1 p.m. Aug. 9, Rarig Proscenium, 330 21st Av. S., Mpls.)
