THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! Rated Arrrrrrr! is a farcical, musical adventure with the audience at the Helm! Captain Henry Martin and his crew of misfit pirates have been flung in to the future by a befuddled sea witch, and their only chance of returning home is performing the greatest pirate epic ever seen on stage! But when their script is torn asunder, these pirates-turned-players are forced to improvise their show as it unfolds, based upon the audience's suggestions. Double entendres, thrilling swordfights, and raucous, improvised musical numbers abound in madcap musical comedy!

The cast of THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! Rated Arrrrrrrr! features David Anthony, Rebeca Diaz, Christopher Leidenfrost, Risa Petrone, Kevin Maphis, and Dan Pivovar (who won Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his performance at Planet Connections).

"I love Greatest Pirate Story because it's never the same show twice," says director Rick Leidenfrost-Wilson, "You never know where the audience will steer the crew next, or what the actors will have to do to justify it. This show is one part Whose Line is it Anyway?, one part Pirates of the Caribbean, and one part Pirates of Penzance."

THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! Rated Arrrrrrr! includes set design by KaTy Roberts, lighting design by Christopher Weston, sound design by Denis Zepeda, choreography by Risa Petrone, fight choreography by Randy Kiersnowski, costumes by Scott McNeill. Kristi Leigh is the stage manager.

Performances of THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! Rated Arrrrrrr! plays Thursdays at 8:00PM and the specifically family-friendly version of THE GREATEST PIRATE STORY NEVER TOLD! (for Kids!) plays Saturdays at 11:00AM.
