Eight-year-old Lucy and her goofy pal Little Chucky are searching for buried treasure, but a gang of bumbling pirates keeps getting in the way! The kids get some help from their new ocean-dwelling friends, including enthusiastic superhero Lobster Boy, his reluctant sidekick Crabby, and an overgrown sea monkey, according to a news release from the library.

“Everybody Loves Pirates” features 15 of Frogtown’s hand-crafted mouth and rod puppets, and an 8-foot paper-mache pirate ship.

Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers is a puppetry troupe based in Bar Harbor, and comprised of three siblings – brothers Erik and Brian Torbeck and sister Robin (Torbeck) Erlandsen.

Founded in 2000, Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers has performed at festivals, schools, libraries and theatres in the United States and Canada. They write and create all the shows they perform and have received three Citations of Excellence from UNIMA-USA, the highest national award in puppetry.

The event is free.
