‘Pirates!’ to Raid BCC, North Adams
“Pirates!,” a swashbuckling adventure featuring bold buccaneers, a mysterious map with a riddle, a visit to an island that can't be seen, a magical journey to the bottom of the sea, and more will be presented again next month by Nutshell Playhouse.Written and directed by Don Jordan, the sea-faring tale premiered last summer at Barrington Stage Company with mime, music and masks. This year’s production adds the use of puppets and performances by BCC Players Gary Cannon, Jessica Carty, Joe Sicotte, and Aaron Thompson to the already successful show.
The fun-filled new addition of puppets is the work of Mike O’Brien who has joined the company as puppet creator/director. O’Brien and Jordan’s collaboration provides a family-oriented performance brimming with excitement and theatrical innovation.
In Pittsfield, “Pirates!” will be ‘raiding’ the Boland Theatre at Berkshire Community College on July 3, 5, 10, 11 and 12 at 11 a.m.; and on July 4 at 1 p.m. Tickets may be reserved by calling the Koussevitzky Box Office at 413-499-0886.
