Royal Battle Between Princesses and Pirates Brews at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center
Palatine Park District's Family Friendly Theatre program will present "Princesses vs. Pirates and the Switcheroo Crew," a new original production at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood Street, on Monday, June 18 at 10:30 a.m. Written by local playwright Eileen Mitchell, this 60-minute production will offer a little something for everyone.
The Princesses and the Pirates discover something fishy going on between Enchanted Isle and Castaway Cove. The Pirates' booty is mysteriously being plundered just as the Princesses' prized possessions start to disappear. Each group blames the other as a royal battle begins to brew. Who is responsible for the missing treasures? All hands on deck are needed to help solve this quirky case.

These 60-minute performances are ideal for children in grades K-8. The Family Friendly Theatre troupe is also available to travel for performances in school theatres, cafeterias, or gymnasiums.
