"Tom Benn and Blackbeard the Pirate"!  

Thursday September 8, 2011 at 2:00 pm.

Join the Adventure of Tom Benn who is tricked onto Blackbeard's ship, becomes the cabin boy and finds out that being a pirate isn't quite what he expected.  When Blackbeard plans to rob his family's farm on Ocracoke Island, Tom does some quick thinking to protect them.  Performance by the North Carolina Marionette Theatre on the North Lawn of the Whalehead Club every Thursday at 2:00 pm.  Sponsored by Currituck County Tourism.

After each performance, a scarf marionette workshop is offered where you can make your own marionette and learn to manipulate it with puppeteers from the show.  Maybe you could create your very own show!  Ages are 3-12 year olds.  Although teenagers think this is pretty cool too! For more information visit www.NorthCarolinaMarionettes.com or call 252-256-1806.
