Ahoy, there, mateys! There’s trouble a’brewin’ at the Canyon Theatre Guild’s Gala Fundraiser on Friday, October 2, 2009. Notice has been posted that this evening at Cut Throat Grotto will embrace the golden age of piracy. Invitations have been issued to all pirates, swashbucklers, and privateers from the seven seas to join the brethren of the Guild for an evening of adventure.

Be forewarned that the table servers are scallywags with whom ye will barter for the niceties of the evening.

There’ll be tasty vittles and lots of rum punch flowing so join in on the fun and frolicking aboard the HMS Adventure. There’ll be mutinous pirates, cabin boys and wanton wenches aplenty, so plan now to be a part of the fun. Tickets start at $40 each for Buccaneers (who will have to barter with their server for the necessities of dining). The Captain’s Experience tables seat 8 for $500; Commodore’s Experience tables are $750 (for 8 seats) and the Admiral of the Black Experience tables are $1,000 (for 8 seats). All tables feature wine with other accoutrements available by bartering except, of course, at the Admiral’s tables.

Dead men tell no tales, so plan for a lively evening of fun, food and fabulous entertainment. Dress in your best pirate garb for there’ll be season tickets won by the best dressed pirates and wenches!

Exciting auction items, including a pirate’s treasure chest filled with treasure, also jewelry, trips and much more! Call now to reserve your berth on the HMS Adventure – leaving port on October 2 at 6:00 PM and returning at midnight. The ticket office number is: (661) 799-2702 and is located in the lobby of the Canyon Theatre Guild at 24242 Main Street, Old Town Newhall. All proceeds benefit the Canyon Theatre Guild, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
