Raleigh Little Theatre’s Storytellers to Go!
A Rollicking Tale of Blackbeard, Pirate of the Carolina Coast
Saturday, February 4
2–3 p.m.
FREE!

Ahoy there! Blackbeard is going on a treasure hunt, and he needs your help! Join the infamous pirate of the Carolina coast as he retraces his steps with the help of Shelley, a loggerhead sea turtle, in search of his crew, his ship the Queen Anne’s Revenge, and his hidden treasure. Along the way you will meet some of the people he knew and get a glimpse of North Carolina’s coastal history. Featuring puppets, a sea chantey, and a wild pirate dance, this play is appropriate for all ages.
