In this new musical based on the best-selling children's book by Melinda Long, Jeremy's talent for building sand castles and digging moats has earned him a place on the crew of Braid Beard's ship. It's a grand adventure, indeed, until Jeremy remembers all the things that he left behind. Surely the pirates can be convinced to take him home! Composers/lyrists/playwrights Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman join forces with the renowned Omaha Theater Company to bring this swashbuckling treasure hunt to life. How I Became a Pirate is directed by Queens Theater in the Park's Rob Urbinati. With its unique blend of spellbinding storytelling, irresistible pirate songs, and bold choreography, this production will take audiences on an unforgettable "journey through the high seas."
