13. Old Time Sailors - The Family Galley, May 19
Old Time Sailors - The Family Galley takes place on May 19. Old Time Sailors is a flashmob musical show designed to take the audience back in time through an unforgettable trip to the 19th century. Every member of the audience receives a copy of the Sunday Sailor, a newspaper shaped program which includes the lyrics to all the songs (plus personalized postal stamps) in order to sing along and become a Sailor for one epic show.
