November 2-4 & 8-11, 2012 - Studio Young Jeremy Jacob is digging in the sand at North Beach when he is greeted by Captain Braid Beard and his mates, and is recruited to help find the perfect digging spot for their treasure. Boarding the ship, the Captain introduces the boy to his pirate crew who share with him the ins and outs of a pirate's life at sea. Jeremy is instructed on how to talk like a pirate and schooled in pirate manners and etiquette (or the lack thereof). A story of adventure and finding one's own heart - a path that can't be found on any treasure map! Shiver me timbers, this is a delightful show!
