newfound knowledge on gears to try and out-do each other!

The Missoula Children's Theatre takes pride in presenting TREASURE ISLAND, an original adaptationof Robert Louis Stevenson’s epic novel. Young Jim Hawkins, a mischievous lad, lives with his Motherand six Sisters in a seaside village on the coast of Maine. The year is 1782 and the American War forRevolution is in its last days. Longing for adventure, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of thelegendary pirate, Long John Silver. While waiting tables in the family Inn, Jim finds a treasure map and,with the villainous Silver as his seeming mentor, sails uncharted seas with only the ragged map and aflock of Gulls as guides. Always up for adventure, Jim’s Ruffian friends say farewell to their Villageparents and serve as cabin boys for Silver and his band of hilarious (although unsavory) Pirate types.Once on the island, nights are sleepless as true colors are revealed in our hero’s quest for the proverbialhappy ending. Then - at last - the treasure is found and hand in hand we’re homeward bound.
