“Like OMG, so funny.”

“I loved the play so much.”

“It has so much fun, and it was so beautiful.”

A tale of pirates and treasure captured the imaginations of students from North Rowan and Bostian elementary school students who say the PPT Youth theater production of “Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon.”

Here’s a sampling of their reviews:

North Rowan Elementary School 

The play features Jack and Annie from the New York Times bestselling series “The Magic Treehouse.” If you have kids that are obsessed with the series, they will love the play. It also features countless songs. … Go and see the play quickly because you can only see it from Nov. 5 to 17. You can find it in the Norvell Theater in Salisbury. — Danny Pirhala

The play was exciting, and the actors had self -steem and courage. The set looked like something I had never seen. The crowd roared at the end like somebody broke a leg. It was hilarious. When I heard them sing, my hair stood up. Like OMG, so funny. The best. The costumes had so much work put into it. The people didn’t have to do this. Guess what? They did OK. These kids went to the max as high as the sky. These kids had straight talent. — Jevin Smith

I suggest coming to the theater because the plays at the Norvell Theater are brilliant. Also, the actors are great and … Capt. Bones was a great actor. The play was also about the book and how they went to the age of pirates. — David Jesus Jivalois

The actor playing Jack is Luke Barbican and the actor of Annie is Maryella Risk. The place was Norvell Theater, and the pirates kept telling Jack and Annie to find them more gold. — Azariah Walker

On Nov. 5, we went to go see the “Pirates Past Noon” play at the Norvell Theater. I knew someone in the play. His name is Rylan Furr. He played Pinky. Pinky is one of the pirates of Capt. Bones’ crew. I loved the play “Pirates Past Noon. There were very cool costumes and they were really pretty. Capt. Bones was mean but funny at the same time. I liked that Jack and Annie ran up and down the stairs when they were coming up to the stage. — Anisten Cook

It was an awesome show and it was kind of funny. There was a boy named Rylan Furr. He was the Pinky/Seagull. And there was two humans. There was a boy and a girl named Maryellen and Luke, and there were a lot of kids. … And their costumes were awesome. It was the best show. — Aryam Shamman

What I love about “Pirates Past Noon” is they had big boots and stuff to go with the book and Jack found the chest. What else I loved is the people, that they work hard. It was cool. — Camron Johnson

It was a good play because he had a magic tree house and it takes them places they wanted to go and they went to pirate time. And they went on the sand and the sand was hot, so they went on the water so their feet would be cool. And then they saw pirate ships coming their way. — Demarion Hanson

I enjoy watching “Pirates Past Noon” because the pirates were men and the kids Jack and Annie helped a pirate and the award was the pirate helped them get out.
