Treasure Island Play

Ages 11-17

Join our full-length play program and have a blast on stage! We begin with group bonding activities and cast early. All enrolled participants will be cast and may have multiple roles. The Director may choose to double-cast if we have a large cast. We want all participants to have fun and be challenged by their experience!

Note: We do not audition for entry to this program. All registrants will be accepted provided payment has been received, or payment arrangements have been made, and the participant and their parent/legal guardian have completed our online Info Form/Waiver and signed our Actor’s Agreement. We strive to provide a welcoming and safe environment to all children and youth regardless of gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, and physical ability.

Our rehearsal process allows for many hours of coaching and guidance in:

• acting/performing

• dramatic movement

• stage combat

• theatrical protocols

• confidence

COMMITMENT AND EXPECTATIONS

Attendance is an important part of the rehearsal process. Actors work as an ensemble and rely on one another to be there. If an actor will be missing multiple rehearsals or any time during Show Week, they should not register for the program. Show Week for this production requires one weekday performance.

Be a part of this hilarious version of the classic tale Treasure Island.

Jim Hawkins and his widowed mother run an old inn in Western England. One foggy morning, a pirate on the run ends up at the inn, befriending Jim and pressing into the lad's hand a tattered, old, wrinkled, and torn piece of paper. Suddenly, a band of cut-throat pirates show up at the inn, feverishly searching for what Jim's been given! With the help of his town's squire, Jim realizes he's been given a secret map to a buried treasure of gold and silver. On board the Hispaniola, Jim learns that the crew they hired are not sailors but pirates captained by peg-legged Long John Silver. But Long John Silver and his treasure-stealing pirates are in for an immense surprise! The treasure they think they've found has been stolen by a half-crazed, hilarious hermit.

A breathtaking tale told by two hilarious narrators who, at times, become part of the play's fast-moving action!

Treasure Island is to be presented through special arrangement with Heuer Publishing.
