You've seen the simple majesty of "Joseph Smith the Prophet." You've felt the powerful hope of "Saints & Pioneers." You've experienced the raw emotion of "The Price of Freedom." But you've never seen anything quite like "Blackbeard" before.

We are very excited to announce the official premiere of Rob Gardner's new musical, "Blackbeard," which will debut Sept. 5-27 at the prestigious Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix, AZ. Prepare to be stunned by the sets, the costumes, the lights, the story, and of course, the music! This thrilling and powerful new production will serve as an out-of-town tryout for the Broadway-aimed show. You will not want to miss this unique opportunity to see it before it "goes places." If you don't live near Phoenix, you may want to plan a trip. Seriously. Check out the website now at www.blackbeardthemusical.com for detailed information, pictures, music clips, tickets and more. Tickets are on sale now.
