HOW I BECAME A PIRATE” received its world premiere at First Stage Children’s Theatre, Milwaukee , WI.

AARRRRGH! Who wouldn’t want to be a pirate!? Imagine Jeremy Jacob’s surprise when, sand shovel in hand, he’s recruited on the beach by Captain Braid and his motley crew to be their new treasure-burying digger. At first, pirate life is great fun: swabbing decks, counting ducats, singing shanties. But when Jeremy gets no bedtime story, no tucking in, he begins to have his doubts. Finally, Jeremy makes a novel, pirate-pleasing suggestion which neatly solves the Captain’s latest dilemma, leading to a swashbucklingly happy ending…and, to the realization that life’s richest treasures might not be under a big X on a map.
