How I Became A Pirate & The Addams Family presented by Exitleft Productions | 6-7 November 2026
An Exitleft musical comedy double bill.
Two hilarious shows for the price of one!
First, set sail with a hilarious crew of swashbuckling pirates in How I Became a Pirate, as young Jeremy Jacob discovers that adventure is exciting, but there are some treasures that simply can’t be found on a treasure map. With pirates, buried treasure and plenty of swagger, it’s a rollicking musical adventure for the whole family.
Then, things take a deliciously dark turn with The Addams Family, where Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a very ‘normal’ young man and decides to introduce him to her wonderfully weird family. What could possibly go wrong? As the Addams and Beineke families come together for one unforgettable dinner, secrets, surprises and plenty of Addams-style mayhem are guaranteed.
Big theatre. Young stars. Presented by ExitLeft’s fabulous Junior performers, these two 30 minute Younger@part adaptations deliver a family friendly theatrical experience packed with music, comedy, character and plenty of heart.
Two completely different worlds. Two hilarious musicals.
One magical night at the theatre.
