cameoHow I Became a Pirate
Through June 12
The Magik Theatre
420 S Alamo

When young Jeremy Jacobs and his exceptional digging skills are recruited by Captain Braid Beard for treasure-buying purposes, Jeremy thinks the pirate life is for him. Until he realizes that the simple things in life, like a kiss and a warm tucking in at night, are those that are most important. A story of adventure and finding one's own heart - a path that can't be found on any treasure map. www.magiktheatre.org
cameoTerra Incognita: Dulac's Suite de Paysages
Through August 29
McNay Art Museum
6000 N. New Braunfels

Acquired in 2006, this suite of eight masterful color lithographs by little-known French Symbolist Charles Dulac, with working proofs for each print, will be shown for the first time at the McNay. The suite is a great example of French color lithography at the end of the 19th century. The complete suite is quite rare-only a few are known. www.mcnayart.org
