By: Tyler Peterson Feb. 18, 2014

Olympia Entertainment and Etico Productions present How I Became A Pirate, a musical based on the book written by Melinda Long. Children will join the adventures of Jacob Jeremy as he jumps on board to join Capitan Braid Beard and his pirate crew. Buried treasure, sea chanteys, pirate talk--who wouldn't go along? How I Became A Pirate lands at the City Theatre from Friday, April 25 through Sunday, April 27.

Tickets ($19) go on sale Friday, February 21 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com, The Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) at all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000. Groups receive a discount by calling (313) 471-3099 for more information. Family four packs are available for $60 and must be purchased in denominations of four.

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.
