'How I Became a Pirate'

Sail off on a swashbuckling musical excursion! When a real live pirate ship interrupts a day at the beach, young Jeremy Jacobs joins Captain Braid Beard’s band of musical buccaneers and searches for the perfect spot to bury their treasure.

Jeremy finds fun and adventure on the high seas, but he soon learns that home and family are treasures you can’t find on any map!

A delightful literacy-based play to reinforce a love of reading and the real treasures in life will have young mateys (and their parents) yo-ho-hoing with delight!
