Posted by Gail M. Burns - March 2010

Williamstown, MA – On Saturday, March 13 at 11 am Nutshell Playhouse will present “Pirates!” downstairs in the Youth Chapel at the First Congregational Church of Williamstown during their Children’s Fair. The suggested donation to attend the performance is $5 for children and $7 for adults.

Written and directed by Nutshell Artistic Director Don Jordan, Pirates! is a swashbuckling adventure featuring bold buccaneers, a mysterious map with a riddle, cursed treasure, a visit to an island that you can’t see, a pirate ghost, and a magical journey to the bottom of the sea. This sea-faring tale features mime, music, masks, and delightful puppets created by Clothespin Puppets.

The performances feature Berkshire County actors Wendy Walraven, Alexia Trainor and Matt Coviello. Together they bring you a family performance brimming with excitement and theatrical innovation.
