Marauding pirates will seize the stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre May 19-22 in an original play about the history and unique qualities of Solana Beach. The world premiere of The Perfectly Preposterous Pirate Adventure of Solana Beach is the result of an educational grant by the City of Solana Beach and is being presented by NCR's Theatre School.
The play was co-written by Theatre School Director Matt Thompson and NCR Development Officer Kathryn Byrd, who wrote the grant proposal. "Winning the grant was a highly competitive process, so we were thrilled when our proposal was accepted," she said. "Matt has written a number of plays and said he always wanted to write a funny pirate adventure, because everyone loves pirates. We expect this play to appeal to kids and adults alike. It's a fun way to learn something about the community."The Perfectly Preposterous Pirate Adventure of Solana Beach tells the tale of a band of misfit pirates who steal a sacred magic object from an island tribe and find themselves thrown into a time warp. A riddle sends them searching through history for the treasure and key that will send them home. However, they keep ending up in the same location - a beautiful stretch of pristine shoreline along the California coast. As they unravel the riddle, they meet friendly inhabitants who help them find the treasure and teach them about the history and culture of this wondrous place.When:
