Johann Andreas has a problem.  His family's business—the Andreas Wasp Infested Inn—can't seem to turn a profit in spite of its prime location on the shores of Lake Huron.  When an eccentric, marooned pirate captain shows up with a treasure map and promises Johann half of the booty, he has no other choice but to weigh anchor and head out.

Can Johann survive the treacherous waters of the Great Lakes with a scabrous band of pirate foes and the maniacal and elusive field octopus liable to attack at any moment?  A swashbuckling comic adventure, these Midwestern pirates with a flair for the dramatic are sure to have you land-lubbers "har-har-ing" all evening long.

Family fun for ages 7 and up.

$14 Tickets  •  $12 for Seniors and Students  •  $16 for Box Seats

Pirates of the Great Lakes is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.  (www.playscripts.com)
