Ahoy! Join the Theatre Department for a jolly musical on the high seas.

A normal day at the beach turns into a day of adventure when young Jeremy Jacob spots a band of pirates rowing to shore! In between singing, dancing, and finding a place to bury their hidden treasure, hopefully Jeremy Jacob can make it home in time for soccer practice.

How I Became a Pirate runs September 23-25 and 30-October 2, 2022 in the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Theater. Friday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are free for Southwestern students, faculty, and staff. Discounts are available for teachers, students, military, and seniors.
