Winning a Creative Loafing Best of the Bay is the highest honor for locals like us. Our bold ensemble and the vast resources of the Straz center ensured a fantastic show; of which we couldn’t be prouder. From the ship crashing upon entry to pirate ladders springing out from the pit, to the burst of confetti on the final button, we all had so much fun building this show! And in that, we’re sure we’re in-keeping with the composer’s intentions.
