How I Became a Pirate

OCTOBER 12 – OCTOBER 30, 2020
This Theatre for Young Audiences musical is now under the stars for the perfect fall family outing at SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre!

SCERA’s Theatre for Young Audiences presents one-hour musicals based on children’s literature. The shows are performed by a cast of adult actors, and are the perfect way to introduce children to the magic of live theatre. And parents…with a witty script, charming characters and catchy music, you’ll have a great time, too!

ADD-ON POST SHOW PIRATE EXPERIENCE: This optional ticket add-on will be a perfectly pirate-y ending to your fall family outing. Only 100 tickets are available each night for $5.00 per child. Parents are free. The experience will include a photo op with the cast on the set, and seven fun pirate-themed game and activity stations, a small gift at each station, a Pirate Passport, and more. We’ll be posting more details soon, so check back.

ABOUT THE SHOW: Book, Lyrics and Music: Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman. Sail off on a fantastic musical excursion when a band of comical pirates lands at North Beach looking for an expert digger to join their crew. Braid Beard and his mates enlist young Jeremy Jacob, as they try to find the perfect spot to bury their treasure. Jeremy finds that adventuring can be lots of fun, but also learns that love and home are treasures you can’t find on any map! Based on the children’s book by Melinda Long, the whole family will love this delightful and swashbuckling musical adventure!

COVID-19: This show would normally be presented indoors at SCERA Center for the Arts. However, to allow for better social distancing and more ticket availability for the public, we will be presenting this show outdoors at SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre. YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE A SPECIFIC NIGHT TO ATTEND. Chairs will be preset to maintain safe distancing. Face coverings are strongly encouraged, especially as you enter, in ticket lines, as you get seated, at concessions and in the restrooms.
