Pirate School: Sea Dreams

Created by David Engel

Thursday, July 6

10 AM & 1 PM

Pirate School: Sea Dreams is a madcap, swashbuckling solo show created and performed by veteran New York actor David Engel. Set to an original cartoon-inspired musical score, complete with sound effects, Pirate Professor Billy Bones teaches the finer points of lighthearted mischief and offers up zany lessons on how to stand, talk, sing and laugh like a boisterous buccaneer, all while promoting good manners, polite behavior and social courage.

Children have a natural fascination for adventure and the pirates' life on the high seas. With eye-popping puppetry, eccentric props, and slapstick sword play, Pirate School! is a riotous, interactive variety show. Where else can you find a talking skull and the world's only wearable pirate ship?

Best for ages 4 and up.
