KEN LUDWIG'S

About
APRIL 21 - MAY 19, 2018

Directed by BLAKE ROBISON

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. Jim Hawkins gets more than he bargained for when he embarks on a daring sea voyage to locate an island of buried riches. But with his fate sealed, he discovers not only gold and gems but also treachery and mutiny lurking around every corner. Filled with unforgettable characters including Long John Silver, the most famous pirate of them all, Treasure Island comes alive for the whole family as an epic theatrical adaptation of one of the world’s great adventure stories.

"A sweeping extravaganza ... exciting entertainment for audiences of all ages." - Variety


ADVISORY:
Treasure Island is appropriate for adults and children ages 10 and up. The show is an exciting adventure that contains nautical danger, action-packed fight scenes, mild language and the occasional scallywag that may not be suitable for youngest mateys.

RUNNING TIME: The show runs approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one intermission.
