Hook vs Pan. Vader vs Skywalker. McGovern (David Holt) vs Freely (Akili Gathers). Their battles are legendary, especially when seen from a childโ€™s viewpoint. Parents, can you relate?

A lot of fun and action, and some poignant food for thought, are sailing your way with Pirates! A Boy At Sea. One more matinee at 2pm today (7/19) at Burning Coal Theatre , before we set sail for Durham next week ! Tickets available at the door or online: https://switchtheatreco.ludus.com/index.php

Itโ€™s hard to find good help. Handsome Harry (Lydia Sayers) has only mastered the shovel and the ladle as weapons, while scheming Sneep (Bryan Squires) is looking for any opportunity to become captain. Fortunately, theyโ€™ve mastered Captain Freelyโ€™s (Akili Gathers) official pirate song โ€“ and choreography.

Today is opening day/night for Pirates! A Boy At Sea. Playing at 2pm and 7pm today (7/18), and one more matinee on 7/19 at Burning Coal Theatre . Tickets available at the door or online: https://switchtheatreco.ludus.com/index.php

If youโ€™ve ever thought about escaping the real world through a magical treasure chest (and who hasn't these days), best talk to Jim Watts (Devin Jacobs) first. Captain Freely (Akili Gathers) is surprisingly picky when it comes to taking on new crew members โ€“ even ones wearing โ€œjim jams.โ€

One more day until Pirates! A Boy At Sea opens at Burning Coal Theatre ! We have three shows to choose from this weekend, July 18 & 19. Tickets: https://switchtheatreco.ludus.com/index.php
