David Engel’s "Pirate School!" is a madcap, swashbuckling solo variety show created and performed by veteran New York physical comedian and actor David Engel.
This riotous, interactive pirate escapade satisfies children’s universal curiosity for the briny buccaneers of yore while promoting everyday polite behavior and social courage.
Now in its 24th season, "Pirate School!" has delighted thousands of families with a mischievous blend of improvisational clown theater and its signature brand of boisterous full-audience participation. Parents marvel as their kids become “good pirates,” swaggering out of the theater transformed by this heartwarming family show.
During "Pirate School!" the bumbling pirate professor Billy Bones, played by David Engel, teaches youngsters 4 and older the finer points of light-hearted mischief. The audience partakes in riotous, joyful competitions that rattle the rafters and zany lessons on how to stand, talk, sing and laugh like jaunty buccaneers.
Featuring an original cartoon-like sound effect and musical score, eye-popping puppetry, eccentric props, adept magic, slapstick swordplay antics, a misbehaving cannon, a talking skull, and the world’s only wearable pirate ship, "Pirate School!" is truly a treasure to discover!
