HOW I BECAME A PIRATE
Recommended for Grades K-3, but Perfect for Pirates of All Ages
Final Lunchbox Theatre Performance: Saturday, April 23
In the Historic Arcade Theatre at 11am!
In this new peg tappin' musical adventure filled with sea chanteys, plank-walkin', stormy seas and Pirate Speak, Braid Beard and his scurvy crew are lookin' to recruit a new first mate. That's when young Jeremy Jacobs finds out that when you're a pirate you don't have to eat your vegetables, there's no such thing as a bedtime, and you get to say "Aaargh" whenever you want! A pirate's life is the perfect life…until he discovers what pirates don't do. Set sail for a hilarious & touching journey as Jeremy learns that the most important things in life are worth more than buried treasure.

Your heart will take flight with this thrilling play that follows America's most legendary heroine: outspoken, strong-willed and lovable, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. Set against the backdrop of 1920s and 30s America, the play allows us to experience Amelia's innermost thoughts, fears and dreams as she deals with sudden stardom and prepares for what will be her last flight. Just what did happen to Amelia Earhart?

AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME

Back for another season in 2010-2011, this powerful play is a multimedia journey into the life and world of Anne Frank and two Holocaust survivors whose lives she changed forever. This groundbreaking retelling of Anne Frank's famous story gives audiences a chillingly personal glimpse of the events leading up to World War II, and the atrocities committed during one of the darkest periods in history.
