I opened my last show of the season April 17th - a very cute play about a little boy who joins a band of pirates and discovers that life at home isn't so bad! It's a fantastic set that starts on the beach and then moves out to the open sea - survives a soccer ball eating shark and a storm before returning back to the home port.
We also had an extremely talented group of musicians in the cast - a pirate band that gave us no end of entertainment. I only rehearsed, teched and opened this world premier musical and then handed it over to another stage manager to run the performances...
I miss me pirate mateys!
