Lower School Theater
3rd & 4th GRADE SCHOOL MUSICAL
Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon Kids is an adaptation of
the fourth of Mary Pope Osborne’s award-winning fantasy
adventure books from the Magic Tree House book series. This
time around, Jack and Annie’s tree house takes them to an
exotic island with pirates, where the two discover the power
of friendship and the simple pleasures in everyday life. The
two siblings return to visit the magic tree house on a dreary,
rainy day. They find a book where the sun is shining and the
waves are crashing, and wish to travel to this tropical place.
They realize they are in the Caribbean of the 18th century, the
time of pirates! The siblings meet Captain Bones, a mean old
pirate who captures the two and forces them to help him find
buried treasure. It’s up to Jack and Annie to find their way
back to the Tree House and make their way home.

Program Description
The Lower School Theater program is provided through a partnership with Ashland Productions and is based at the Maplewood Community Center.
This innovative program allows us to offer our students a one of a kind theatre arts program. Ashland artistic staff work with our students each week here at SCPA learning the songs, dances and lines for a full youth production. Learning the show is only part of the fun. Students will also learn performance fundamentals and team work with interactive theatre improvisational games.
During the last week of the program, the rehearsal process is moved to the Maplewood Community Center on stage in the Maplewood Performing Arts theatre. Students top off the experience by showcasing their hard work with several performances for their school, family, friends and community with professional sets, costumes, lights and sound! Students will come away with improved poise, self-discipline and self-esteem – skills that will help them at school and last for a lifetime!
