“Pirate School” stars David Engel as the bumbling pirate Billy Bones, an amiable bumpkin of a buccaneer with a heart of gold. He comes with his treasure chest of classic slapstick comedy, magic, bubble-play, music, a rusty bugle and scads of participatory fun.

Billy Bones also teaches youngsters how to be good pirates. The highly rated program has been featured in New York Magazine’s “Best of New York: Kids.”

This program will be held in the handicapped accessible Thornton Wilder Hall in the Miller Cultural Complex, 2901 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden. For details: www.hamdenartscommission.org; (203) 287-2546.
