Pirates ashore!

Avast ye mateys! On Aug. 4, “Pirate School!” floats into Red Hook on the Waterfront Barge Museum.

David Engel has created a swashbuckling, one-man show that is a mischievous blend of clown theater, cartoon-like sound effects, eye-popping puppetry, props, magic, slapstick antics, and boisterous, full-audience participation. “Pirate School” allows kids to live their dream of experiencing the Golden Age of pirattitude while promoting everyday polite behavior and social courage.

Children 4 years and older are encouraged to come in costume. Bring your spyglass and prepare for a yo, ho, ho afternoon of fun.

“Pirate School” on Aug. 4, from 1 to 2 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children.

The Waterfront Museum and Showboat Barge [290 Conover St. at Pier 44 in Red Hook, (718) 208–8966 X 11, www.waterfrontmuseum.org].
