How to Be a Pirate

Hoist the sail and join the pirate crew in Greg Gilpin's "How to Be a Pirate." This reproducible mini-musical introduces an ornery yet sweet Captain and a reliable First Mate who transform landlubber students into pirates. Through story and song, the shipmates dress in pirate costume, raise the Jolly Roger, spy with telescopes, find buried treasure, and show "thar" pride in a raucous pirate party. The kit contains a score, reproducible singer's parts, performance ideas, instructions for prop creation, and an enhanced CD which includes accompaniment and performance recordings, an event poster, program, artwork for t-shirts and more. This is fast-paced, funny, and perfect for any size group, whether presented as a full stage production or with a smaller ensemble on risers. 20 minutes.
