Set sail for adventure as FFAE presents The Crimson Pirate!

When rumors of a hidden treasure map begin to spread across the seas, a mysterious hero known only as The Crimson Pirate appears. With disguises, daring escapes, and a race to uncover the truth behind the map, the journey quickly becomes a thrilling quest filled with unexpected twists and plenty of pirate mischief. Along the way, audiences will meet bold adventurers, including the fearless Brandy Boggs, a clever and courageous pirate who proves that bravery, loyalty, and quick thinking are the greatest
treasures of all.

Packed with high-seas adventure, humor, and swashbuckling fun, The Crimson Pirate has long been a Fantasy Forum favorite. With secret identities, hidden maps, and a crew of unforgettable characters, this exciting tale reminds us that the greatest adventures are the ones we take together.

This performance is a School Matinee intended for student groups of 10 or more, but all guests are welcome to attend. To view non‑student matinee performance times, click here.
