Pleasure Craft Theatre’s live improvised soap opera is at the midpoint of its fourth season.
This year’s theme is Pirates of the Cascadian, a zany, swashbuckling epic adventure that unfolds Monday evenings at Cumberland United Church.
Pirates, gypsies, mermaids, wenches, privateers, unicorns and cannibals comprise the cast of this ever-growing and changing show, with improvised music and special effects.
“It’s by turns hilarious, tragic and romantic,” director Kevin Flesher said. “Nobody knows what’s going to happen from week to week as they search for Ginger’s booty.”
Music is provided by a three-piece band featuring Vig Schulman on bass, Tom Walton on guitar and violinist Blaine Dunaway.
New cast members are encouraged to drop by and join the fun.
The church is at First and Penrith. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Mondays. Remaining sessions are March 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.
Admission is by donation. All ages are welcome.
Partial proceeds benefit the Cumberland Community Forest Society.
