Overview

Back this year by popular demand, The Bad Pirate Rock Show is a musical odyssey for pirates of all ages!

Join a wild band of silly sailors as they search for the true meaning of piracy. This young crew of pirate misfits must prove their piratey-ness by embarking on an epic quest across the twenty-seven seas. Their goal? To find the mysteriously missing and singularly legendary Captain Redbeard!

Their wacky adventure features mermaids, sword fights, sea monsters, epic storms, and the best-sounding rock band on this side of the Schuylkill! Prepare yourself to get on your feet, to yarr, to aye, to sail, to sing. With something for everyone, The Bad Pirate Rock Show is a celebration of what it means to be true to yourself.

Created by Jonah Godfrey and devised/performed by Michael “Dola” Amendola, Aiden Ankli, Flora Aubin, Tenara Calem, Tyler Catanella, Graham Cook, and Rachel Hunsinger.
