Auditions Sunday for Village Players’ spring musical

WOLFEBORO — The Village Players invite community members to audition for the spring musical “The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree,” a swashbuckling comedy with book by Martin A. Follose and music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. Expect silly songs, sea shanties, spirited hijinks, and maybe even a bit of romance along the way. 

Performances will be March 20-22 and 27-29. Auditions are Sunday, Dec. 14, 1-5 p.m. and Tuesday, Dec. 16, 6-9 p.m. at the Village Players Theater, 51 Glendon St. in Wolfeboro. Director Debbi Finkelstein encourages actors age 13 and up to audition.

When Captain Jennings’ ship is overtaken by the fearsome Captain Bree and her crew of lady pirates, he struggles to find a way to protect his remaining crew and the wealthy, high-society passengers onboard. Finding that the passengers are the closest thing to a treasure on the ship, Captain Bree and her crew decide to ransom them, but are unaware of the meddling passengers in their midst. Hijinks ensue as one passenger tries to become a pirate, another disguises himself as a girl, hoping to avoid being thrown overboard, and others undermine both captains at every turn.
