‘Pirates’ rule at Manship

Young Jeremy Jacob is innocently playing on the sandy beach when he’s kidnapped by a group of scruffy pirates, led by the irascible Captain Braid Beard. As a pirate, Jeremy enjoys the fact that no one tells him to eat his vegetables or mind his manners—but there’s also no one to tuck him in at night or read him a story. Will Jeremy choose a life of high adventure, or return to the home he knows and loves? The Baton Rouge Playmakers put on this vibrant musical take on the children’s book How I Became a Pirate, starting this Friday at the Manship Theatre. manshiptheatre.org
