Hope Summer Repertory Theatre's Children's Performance Troupe is adding one additional performance of the popular How I Became a Pirate on Thursday, August 11th at 10:30 a.m.
How I Became a Pirate is based on the children's picture book by Melinda Long and illustrated by David Shannon. Music and lyrics are by Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman. "When Braid Beard's pirate crew invites Jeremy Jacob to join their voyage, he jumps right on board. Buried treasure, sea chanteys, pirate talk - who wouldn't go along? Soon Jeremy Jacob knows all about being a pirate. He throws his food across the table and his manners to the wind. He hollers like thunder and laughs off bedtime. It's the heave-ho, blow-the-man-down, very best time of his life. Until he finds out what pirates don't do - no reading bedtime stories, no tucking kids in. . . . maybe being a pirate isn't so great after all" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Publisher).
