The Ghosts of treasure island

Script by Eric Schmiedl
Music and Lyrics by Captain Bogg and Salty
Adapted from the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Directed by Amanda Delheimer

April 10th - May 20th, 2010

This rollicking new musical follows young cabin boy Jim Hawkins as he fights to survive on a mysterious island. Accompanied by the singing shenanigans of a raucous band of pirate ghosts, Jim races to find notorious Captain Flint's fabled treasure before his mutinous shipmates steal the fortune for themselves. Faced with danger at every turn, Jim persists on his quest armed with nothing but an old treasure map and an endless supply of courage.

Come sail the high seas with the crew of The Hispaniola in this rowdy adventure!

Recommended for ages 9 and up (4th thru 8th grades).

Learning Guide
Our Education Department produces a Learning Guide for all of our productions. This text is FULL of fun background information about the show, pre-show and post-show discussion questions, as well as art and language activities. While we primarily make it for our educators, we think parents should check it out as well. So click here to join the fun! We are currently working on the Learning Guide for Ghosts and will post it as soon as it's finished.
