Pint-Sized Pirate Play
Thu, March 11, 2010 at 02:36PM This week, my daughter's class performed a play about pirates. The play is based on Peggy the Pint-Sized Pirate by D. M. Bocaz Larson (published in Royalty Free Plays From Freedrama.com: Most Popular Scripts Part 1 (Volume 1)
So many nice surprises. The children cast was so well prepared and professional! It was a musical, with clever dialogue, funny elements, class songs and children singing solo. I went to see it twice! I thought I'd share the lovely artwork the kids created for the play.
The painted cardboard backdrops were hung from hooks in vertical columns. This is the ocean and islands where the pirates spent their days.
The painted cardboard columns reversed to a different scene, the pirate ship.
A closer view of the cardboard artwork.
Behind this layer was a sheet of painted fabric.
Parents were seated in chairs and 3 classes of Pre-K thru K children sat on a carpet in front of the makeshift stage. As you can see, they were fully engaged in the play!
So much fun!

What great fun for the kids AND their audience. Awesome scenery too! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Those plays are the most FUN!!! Your kids will remember this for many years. They did a really good
job with their back drops, too.
Absolutely brilliant. Theatre as it should be - full of passion.
* Terri, Eden and John, It was my daughter's first "theatrical" experience and the kids had so much fun working together to bring it to life. I love seeing kids so engaged and focused on something they enjoy. ~ Tammy
