Pirate's Curse SRC Kick-off
Bring 'yer scurvy selves to see tha' show on Thursday the 10th o' June at 19 hours (that's 7 pm for all you landlubbers!). Piccirillo Sciencetelling presents: The Pirate's Curse of the Mutating Hand. "In a time when pirates sailed the seven seas, there was one pirate who was feared the most. HIs name was Hendricks the Hand and he was cursed with a mutating hand. But his curse gave him power, and seeking to become unstoppable, he must return to the place that cursed him ... The Black Cave. In an attempt to protect the seas, the famous pirate Jams Dauer gathered a crew which included quartermaster Sullivan and set sail for the Black Cave!"
