Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre to Present HOW I BECAME A PIRATE, 2/14-3/15

Sail into adventure with Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's debut of How I Became A Pirate, opening on Valentine's Day! This exciting new Pyramid Players production is based on Melinda Long's best-selling children's book, and is on stage through March 15 for kids of all ages.

Young Jeremy Jacob is recruited by Captain Braid Beard and his mates to help find the perfect digging spot for their treasure. Along the way, Jeremy learns all about being a pirate, and discovers many surprises along the way, including the perfect spot to bury the treasure.

It's a story of adventure and finding one's own heart - a path that can't be found on any treasure map!

Isaac Herzog stars as Jeremy Jacob, the boy who finds adventure can be as close as his own backyard. Scott Keith is Braid Beard, with A.J. Morrison as Swill the Pirate, Peter Scharbrough as Sharktooth the Pirate, Michael Davis as Pirate Pierre, Robert Kingery as Max the Pirate and Jordan Moody as Pirate Seymour Braunschwagger.

The show is directed by Eddie Curry, with musical director Kristy Templet, choreographer Deb Wims and stage manager Jeff Stockberger.
