A play for boys, and it’s not about sports? Imagine that.
Nationally recognized Dallas Children’s Theater takes on a wide range of topics and challenges every year in its programming.
Right now it’s running a swashbuckling, high energy, funny-bone tickling musical adaptation of Melinda Long’s best selling book “How I Became A Pirate,” in a southwestern premiere engagement.
It’s a winner with both boys and girls, if the delighted interaction I witnessed at intermission is any indication.
“Aargh! Swab the decks, matey, or you’ll walk the plank,” reverberated from merrily vociferous preteen male voices as they waited for the second half of the show to begin. Their little sisters danced around them, enthusiastically engaged in air swordplay.
