MATTAPOISETT — Superintendent Michael S. Nelson and Principal Silas Coellner are proud to announce that the Old Rochester Regional Junior High School Drama Club will present a musical about a play starring the teenage heartthrob of every girl in Shakespearean England.
It’s called “Adventures of the Fearsome Pirate Frank,” and the ORRJHS Drama Club is performing it at the Old Rochester Regional Junior High School Auditorium, 133 Marion Road, on March 27 and March 28 at 7 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. performance on March 29.
The production is a comedic, high-energy spoof that follows the story of a popular stage actor known for playing the Fearsome Pirate Frank, who becomes entangled in real-life pirate adventures when he and his fellow performers are unexpectedly kidnapped during a performance.
The show blends humor, adventure and pop culture references, featuring a wide range of colorful characters, including pirates, mermaids and even a surprise superhero appearance, as the story unfolds both on stage and at sea.
The production is directed by Kate Fishman, with set construction by Shawn Sivil and Rick Verbois, and illustration by Haley Roberts.
“Productions like this showcase the incredible creativity, collaboration and dedication of our students,” said Principal Coellner. “The Drama Club continues to provide an outlet for students to express themselves, build confidence and take pride in their work, and we are excited for the community to see what they have accomplished.”
“We are proud to support our drama students as they explore the arts and develop important life skills both on and off the stage,” said Superintendent Nelson. “The hard work and enthusiasm of everyone involved in this production are impressive, and we look forward to a fantastic set of performances.”
Tickets will be sold at the door, with admission set at $13 for adults and $7 for ORRJHS students and children 12 and under.
“Students have been working incredibly hard and are so proud of what they have created,” said Beth Faria, ORRJHS Spanish teacher and advisor to the drama club. “They have been amazing this year, and it has been wonderful to see their dedication and excitement come together in this production. We are very proud of them and hope the community will come out to support their efforts.”
