According to page 136, paragraph four, subsection C of the Pirate Handbook, on a pirate's 'older-than-ninth birthday,' his trusty crew must grant him a fight! That is exactly what happened this week at the Theatre Institute at Sage in our staging of Backbeard's own birthday fight, an exciting 10-pir
As I take a seat at the back of the theatre, the cast of Through My Father's Eyes start practicing their songs.
We've just finished our first week of music rehearsals for Backbeard at the Theatre Institute at Sage!

I love reading/watching the 'Day in the Life' videos on Broadway World! And now I get to do one!
