Prepare for a high seas adventure with the most amazing crew of scalawags ever to set sail on the Spanish Main in this performance of Skullduggery – A Magical Pirate Adventure sensory friendly show. \nIllusionist John Bundy and Morgan conjure up a treasure chest of incredible illusions in this family-friendly\, sensory-friendly theatrical show. The magic happens right before your Ayes! \nBroadway World said: “Cue award winning illusionists John Bundy and Morgan. Their thrilling mainstage production Skullduggery: A Magical Pirate Adventure! is a swashbuckling pirate adventure that will conjure up a treasure chest of illusions and interactive adventure the whole family will enjoy. This Broadway-style production\, combining the science of illusion and storytelling\, culminates in a climatic whirlwind of magical amazement…there are few family friendly shows that successfully manipulate the senses\, while entertaining the masses. Skullduggery is one of the few productions that accomplish this arduous feat. Perhaps there is a strong connection between illusion and neuroscience\, or laughter and distraction. Ultimately\, it doesn’t matter. One cannot help but buy into the enchantment of Skullduggery. The production evokes what science cannot explain: family magic.” \nSkullduggery is presented by The Union County Board of County Commissioners. Sensory Friendly theater\, music\, and dance performances are specially adapted for children and adults with autism and other sensory sensitivities.
