These pirates be unlike any ye’ve seen before! This is Anne Bonny and Mary Read, a fierce female pirate duo based on real 19th century women. They’re here to capture your attention as they regale the crowd with stories of adventure, from hoisting the sails to fighting the fearsome kraken of the deep. With each story they climb and twist in the air, performing three exciting aerial acts that will hold their audience captive.

Rigged delivers a bit of history and whole lot of entertainment!

Be sure to yell “Ahoy!” when they ask you to join their crew though. Otherwise, they may just make you walk the plank.
