Brush Creek kicks off our 2019 season with this year’s children & youth performance. The Pirate Paradise: Legend of Libertalia opens its 3-weekend run on Friday, February 22, with evening performances at 7 pm on Fridays & Saturdays and matinees at 2 pm on Saturdays & Sundays. The show is directed by Linda Zellner (assisted by Emily Wood) based on a script by Emily Wood and Michael Wood.
This twist on the typical swashbuckling tale finds an orchid-hunter from Victorian England shipwrecked on an island where he finds a lost world from the great Age of Piracy — a “pirate paradise” where democracy and equal rights for all hold sway in the midst of the usual thieving, gambling and piracy. But all is not well in Libertalia, as he soon discovers, and his arrival triggers a series of events that may very well cause the end of this “paradise” — as well as endanger the bold pirate captain who captures his heart with her spirit and taste for risking everything on an occasional throw of the dice.
Shipboard battles, sword fights, fiery battles for the city, trials where everything hangs in the balance, a love story, and even a touch of music — “The Pirate Paradise” offers it all. And both our young casts (ages 5 to 17) bring the show to life with hard work, energy & enthusiasm.
