An ensemble of five actors portrays all the characters while the audience is asked to produce all the sound effects. The Cue Card Girl lets the audiences know when it's time to slam a door, make the footsteps and even shoot the guns during the shows. The Pirates even perform the radio commercials live asking the audience to supply the necessary sounds.

. On July 16th the Pirates present the first of their musical westerns, Los Tres Balceneros: The Legend Begins. The play introduces the adventures of three cowboys, Ringo, Sunny and the Kid, telling the tale of three wayward caballeros and their good deeds. Written in the style of old-time western radio the shows, include gunfights, chase scenes singing cowboys and contemporary references, each show requires the audience to participate by producing the sound effects. The Legend Begins reveals the origins of this team of adventurers, how they met, who they are and the secrets they hold. You will be taken back to the days of the wild and wooly west and encounter saloon girls (and boys), banditos and yes horses.
