Join Dr. Frank N’ Furter and his motley crew and do the time warp again! A wild blend of horror, science fiction, and a raucous rock-n-roll score.
"A musical that deals with mutating identity and time warps becomes one of the most mutated, time warped phenomena in show business."-N.Y. Times.
"Campy trash."-Time.
PG - adult material, situations & language.
Treasure Island by Ken Ludwig
(Drama)
Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the tropical seas. An unforgettable tale of treachery and mayhem featuring a host of legendary swashbucklers including the dangerous Billy Bones, the sinister two-timing Israel Hands, female pirate Anne Bonney, and the hideous form of evil incarnate, Blind Pew. At the center of it all are young Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time.
"Scripted by Ken Ludwig, this new version invests a gripping yarn with a genuinely rough-and-ready buccaneering spirit. It flies the flag for good-old fashioned ensemble story-telling." -The Telegraph
Family Entertainment - may be somewhat intense for younger children.

-The New York Times
"Delightfully hilarious and witty, as well as filled with wisdom about human nature...a genuinely brilliant play."-New York Post
PG - Slightly naughty, some adult language & situations.
