Cowley Theatre to perform The Gingerbread Pirates

The Gingerbread Pirates

Public performances of The Gingerbread Pirates will be held this Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Robert Brown Theatre. On Saturday, a special holiday activity will be offered at 1 p.m. in the Earle N. Wright Community Room, where children can decorate gingerbread cookies and have hot chocolate. This event is co-sponsored by Cowley Theatre and Cowley Education.

Elementary schools around the area will be treated to special performances of The Gingerbread Pirates on Wednesday and Thursday.

Cowley College’s Nick Albrecht directed the show and wrote the adaptation. The original children's book is by Kristin Kladstrup.

The Gingerbread Pirate is a fresh, funny story that sparkles with all the excitement of a pirate adventure and all the magic of Christmas morning.
