Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers present "Everybody Loves Pirates," Monday, Aug. 4, 2025, from 6 - 7 p.m., in the Community Room of the Rockland Public Library.

"End Rockland's Summer Reading Program with a bang," said the library.

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. 

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

“Everybody Loves Pirates” is about eight-year-old Lucy and her goofy pal Little Chucky who 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.

Call 207-594-0310 to reserve a seat. Walk-ins welcome. Space limited.

The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union St.
