How I Became a Pirate:

Imagine Jeremy Jacob’s surprise when he’s accosted on the beach by a motley crew of pirates. They need a digger to bury their treasure and Jeremy, clutching his little sand spade, is recruited. At first, the pirate life is all fun: swabbing decks, counting ducats and singing shanties. But when night falls, Jeremy gets no bed time story and no tucking in. At last, Jeremy comes up with an idea to allow him to return to his “regular” life. A light-hearted summer musical romp! Enjoyed by ages 3 and up.

Pirates! A Boy at Sea:

Time: 1718. Place: the high seas. Jim finds himself first captured by pirates, then rescued from the deep by sailors from the British Man-of-War, the action has deep connections to Jim’s life. The strict McGovern reminds Jim of his Dad while the fun-loving but enigmatic Freely reminds him of his estranged Mom. Combining laughs with drama, playwright Charles Way (Playing from the Heart, Merlin and the Cave of Dreams) ties all the elements together into a nail-biter perfect for older children. Enjoyed by ages 7 and up.
