Description

A Grand Day Out: The Pirate Queen
Reenactment with Award-Winning Actress and Historian Mary Ann Jung
Avast ye slug-a-beds! Meet the astonishing woman who commanded an entire fleet of ships and faced down Queen Elizabeth I of England! Wake up and join your captain, yes WOMAN, Captain Grace O'Malley (of Ireland) as she teaches about sailing on a ship. Pirates? Not only pirates are discussed in this fast-moving and exciting show, but ye will learn about all types of sailing information, ships, 16th century history, even how to climb the rigging. However, Captain Grace isn't really a pirate, she's the daughter of clan chieftain Dub O'Malley, so instead of capturing her audience, she chooses to teach them instead. This adventure encourages the audience to learn words from across the world, small bits of information from many cultures, details that only a 'pirate queen' can bring. Come dressed as a pirate if you like! This program is best suited for children aged 6-12. For information/register please contact Ellicott City 50+ Center at 410-313-1400.
