Something not entirely synonymous with the title, "Pirate Takeover" is the word love.

A great deal of love was shown on stage tonight by the volunteer organized singing group, "Proper Debauchery"

An immense amount of love was our incredible patrons listening to the music (despite those summer time bugs) partaking in intermission games, and overall enjoying a night of sea shanty shenanigans.

More photos to follow-but a heartfelt thank you to all involved that made tonight a HUGE success. Without you, we wouldn't be here.
