Olympia Entertainment and Etico Productions present How I Became A Pirate, a musical based on the book written by Melinda Long.

Join young Jacob Jeremy as he sets sail with Captain Braid Beard and his mates! Terrific songs like "A Good One to Boot," "Green Teeth," "I'm Really Just a Sensitive Guy," "You've Got To Talk Like A Pirate," "Pirates Don't Aaargh!," and many others will have you rolling in the aisles and leaving the theatre secretly wishing for Braid Beard and the gang to one day pay you a visit! A story of finding one's own heart-- a path that can't be found on any treasure map.
