Characters to watch for:

The Mute: so few words and yet a priceless role.

The Fantastic Parrot Pilfer: I’ve never seen a puppeteer so active.

Kate- Beautiful and charming someone I would very much rescue form the sword of a pirate.

Nathaniel: Have you ever seen someone dance in stocks before?

Mr. Mallard: The manliest pirate voice I’ve ever heard.

Behind the Scenes:

I was able to watch the crew warm up together before the show. It gave me a little background look at how well this group works together and how dedicated and talented they are to do this several times a week.

Why should you see it?

It took my mind to a different land, a land where homework did not even exist. It was very entertaining to see my classmates with talents that I didn’t even know that they had. It was like eating candy.

The music/band was probably my favorite part. Without the music, it would be like taking a pan out of the oven without hot mitts. The music was creative and lively and it made me want to play the tambourine really bad. I give Mike Mennard an A+.



FINAL WORDS:

GO WATCH THE PLAY… because if you don’t, you are not truly living.

That's what makes them Pirates

Hey ladies!

This is an update on That's What Makes Them Pirates, a musical by Mike Mennard, our very own English professor. So far, everything is going very quickly and smoothly. The stage is built, and we know our songs and (most of) our lines. We still need to decorate, figure out all our constumes, and do a few other things. Today, our choreographer came and led us in some awesome moves for several of the numbers. It was so neat to watch it all come together. My personal favorite is the song, Bucaneer on Broadway, with Owen Hansen singing the lead part of Mr. Mallard. The choreographer taught him some awesome dance steps that look really cool and hillarious all at the same time.
Please keep the cast and crew in your prayers and come watch us on Sundays! We welcome any audience.
That's all for now... expect regular updates on our progress.


Love,

Captain Natasha Rapscallion
