About the Show and Project
Murfreesboro Little Theatre is thrilled to announce its latest production, "How I Became a Pirate," a delightful play adaptation of the beloved children's book by Melinda Long. This enchanting performance is part of the Literature Takes the Stage Series, a community initiative bringing the magic of children's literature to life through free performances at local libraries and children's centers. Sail off on a fantastic musical excursion when a band of comical pirates lands at North Beach looking for an expert digger to join their crew. Braid Beard and his mates enlist young Jeremy Jacob as they look for the perfect spot to bury their treasure. Perfect for families and children of all ages, this production promises to ignite imaginations and foster a love for reading and the arts. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the joy of live theatre and celebrate the power of storytelling. Check our schedule for performance dates and locations, and come share in the fun!
