“In Search of TreAsARRG” Sets Sail for Steinbach In This Backyard Theatre Company Spring Production
The Steinbach Arts Council is thrilled to announce the upcoming family-friendly production, “In Search of TreasARRG,” directed and originally written by Jeremy Plett, a long-time supporter of the arts and theatre instructor at SAC. This marks a historic moment as the Backyard Theatre Company (BTC) opens its doors to the public for the very first time, having previously limited performances to family and friends. The show will also feature the lively musical number “Revolting Children” from Matilda by FUSION Musical Theatre and “Tales of the High Seas” by Dramatic Discovery.
Scheduled for April 15, 2025, at 6:30 PM, the event will take place at the SRSS Theatre, with tickets going on sale on March 5, 2025.
“In Search of TreasARRG” takes audiences on a thrilling pirate adventure filled with humor and excitement. The story follows two rival pirate crews, led by Black Barrel Billy and Captain Cut-Lassie, as they race to uncover the legendary treasure of Goldbeard. With unexpected twists, a bumbling admiral, and a sea serpent guarding secrets, this production promises to be a delightful spectacle for families of all ages.
Jeremy Plett, who has been a pivotal figure in the local theatre community, expressed his enthusiasm: “I can’t wait to see how these talented young actors bring the wacky world of ‘In Search of TreasARRG’ to life on stage. This script is packed with zany adventures and hilarious mishaps, and I’m thrilled to watch the kids tackle it with their boundless energy and creativity. I’m confident they’ll do an amazing job, turning this pirate tale into a memorable spectacle that audiences of all ages will adore!”
Joining Jeremy in this production is Assistant Director Akecia Peters, who brings her own passion for the arts as she teaches Dramatic Discovery. With a record-breaking registration of over 70 young performers aged 5 to 16, BTC has seen its largest turnout to date. This surge in interest highlights the growing popularity of theatre arts among local youth, providing them with a platform to develop their acting, creativity, and teamwork skills.
