Break a peg-leg, pirates! It's opening night for A Tale of Blackbeard! The show starts at 8pm; get in line by 7 if you want to see it tonight! It's in the Ocracoke School gym with a whole new set design. If you saw it last year, you need to see it again – there's a new Blackbeard, new pirates and village girls, and even a new song! And my daughter plays the romantic lead, Elizabeth Farthingham, so it's a great show, if I do say so myself. The show runs Monday nights, July 6 – August 17.
