“How I Became a Pirate” at Adventure Theatre — Ticket Giveaway!



Adventure Theatre is kicking off its 2017-18 season with fun, swashbuckling entertainment! How I Became a Pirate will sail onto the stage this fall with a production recommended for all ages. And you have a chance to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to see a performance!

Based on the book by Melinda Long and directed by Jenny Male, the show follows the journey of a boy named Jeremy as he becomes an honorary pirate after a ship comes ashore while he’s building sandcastles on the beach. Jeremy learns the ropes of what it really means to be a swashbuckling (but smelly!) pirate — and the pirates just might learn how to play soccer, too.

How I Became a Pirate is running at Adventure Theatre September 22 – October 22, with both weekend and weekday performances. Tickets are $19.50 and can be purchased in advance online, at the Box Office, or by calling 301.634.2270. You can also try to win them through the giveaway below!

Based on the Newberry Honor book by Gail Carson Levine, Ella Enchanted tells the tale of Baby Ella of Frell, who is given the “gift” of obedience by Lucinda, a misguided fairy, and thus cannot disobey any direct order.

See the show to find out! Tickets for Ella Enchanted are $19.50 and available for purchase online and at the Box Office (I recommend getting them in advance, as shows often sell out). You can also try to win them through the giveaway below.

Halloween might be over, but not all of the witches have gone away. At least one is still lurking about, awaiting your arrival in Narnia. A land located (this holiday season, anyway) right in the heart Glen Echo Park.

This December, Adventure Theatre is bringing the beloved children’s classic The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to life in a two-actor show. And from what I hear, it promises to be a beautiful and magical experience. I’ve also got a Family 4-Pack of tickets to give away to one lucky KFDC reader!

Recommended for all ages, this one-hour version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe follows Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy as they are sent to live in the countryside home of professor Digory Kirke. As Lucy explores the house, she discovers a secret portal to a magical world called Narnia. With an evil White Witch ruling the kingdom, can Lucy, her new friend Mr. Tumnus, and her family band together to save Narnia?

Find out at Adventure Theatre from December 2-31! Tickets are $19.50 and can be purchased online or at the Box Office (I always recommend getting them in advance). Of course, you can also try winning them through the giveaway.

Giveaway: For a chance to win the Family 4-Pack of Tickets to see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at Adventure Theatre, simply leave a comment below or on the KFDC Facebook page (but you must “like” it first!) letting me know which performance — date and time — you would prefer to see the show.
