The East Bay’s classical pickins may be slim in the lazy days of summer, but the lighter fare is delicious. The Lamplighters, a venerable Bay Area institution, dock at the Dean Lesher Center this week just in time to anchor what we hope will be a fresh take on Gilbert & Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore. Thursday, August 2. 8 p.m.. $11-$46. Tickets: 925-943-7469 or Lamplighters.org.
