Set sail for adventure in How I Became a Pirate, a swashbuckling musical perfect for the whole family! When young Jeremy Jacob is recruited by the bumbling but big-hearted Captain Braid Beard and his crew, he discovers that pirate life is full of treasure hunts, sea shanties and hilarious hijinks — but maybe not bedtime stories! Based on the beloved children’s book, this high-seas adventure is packed with catchy songs, laugh-out-loud fun and a heartwarming message about finding where you belong. Join us for a rollicking voyage that will have young buccaneers (and their grown-ups) cheering “Yo ho!” all the way home!

Appropriate for all ages — production is designed for young audiences.
