2026 SEASON
Ken Ludwig's
Treasure Island
March 19 - April 25, 2026
An Adventure Adapted from the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson
Directed by Cheryl Schaar
Set sail on the journey of a lifetime, complete with cutthroat pirates, a treasure map and a courageous boy entangled in a dangerous swashbuckling expedition. A breathtaking yarn of piracy on the high seas, it begins at an inn on the Devon coast of England in 1775 where young Jim Hawkins longs for adventure and embarks on a daring sea voyage to locate an island of buried riches. With his fate sealed, he discovers not only gold and gems but also treachery and mutiny lurking around every corner. At the center of it all is Long John Silver, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time, an unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold, coupled with his affection for Jim, cannot help but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for romance, treasure and adventure. Treasure Island comes alive for the whole family as an epic theatrical adaptation of one of the world’s great adventure stories.

Ahoy thar mateys! TREASURE ISLAND is an exciting adventure that contains nautical danger, action-packed fight scenes, mild language and the occasional scallywag. This production will contain special effects that you’d expect in a swashbuckling sea-faring pirate story such as loud sound effects, gun shots and thunder; lightning and flashing lights; and action packed fight scenes with stage violence, hand-to-hand combat, and all types of weapons like rapiers, daggers, knives, blades and firearms, a skeleton and stage blood. The show is appropriate for adults and children ages 10 and up but may not be suitable for the youngest mateys.
