Ocean State Theatre Presents HOW I BECAME A PIRATE, May 4

Melinda Long's best-selling book comes to life when Ocean State Theatre Company presents the unforgettable musical adventure, How I Became a Pirate on Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 11:30 am. The production is part of Ocean State Theatre Company's Family Fun Fest, which is recommended for children 4 years and older.

Jeremy Jacobs' talent for building sand castles and digging moats has earned him an invitation to join the crew of Braid Beard's ship. Living the high life at sea, Jeremy trades manners for mayhem as he rolls in stolen treasure, sings sea chanteys, and practices his pirate talk with all his new pirate friends. It's a grand adventure, until Jeremy remembers all the things he left behind such as bedtime stories and goodnight kisses. And, what about soccer practice tomorrow? Surely, the pirates can be convinced to take him home!

Adapted for the stage by award-winning composers, lyricists, and playwrights Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman, How I Became a Pirate is filled with wacky pirates and silly songs including "A Good One To Boot," "Green Teeth," "I'm Really Just a Sensitive Guy," "You've Got to Talk Like a Pirate," "Pirates Dot Aaargh!," and many others.

Directed and choreographed by Managing Producer Joel Kipper, with music direction by John Jay Espino, this swashbuckling musical adventure features the talents of Mike Daniels of North Providence, Meghan Rose Donnelly of Matunuck, Brad Kirton of Coventry, Valerie R. Myette of North Kingstown, who were involved with OSTC's season opener of Neil Simon's Fools; Josh Christensen and Derek Capobianco, who were both seen in RENT; and Brandon Alberto, who is currently appearing in The King and I.
