This May Long John Silver is recruiting kids of all ages to join his treacherous pirate gang as June Chandler's Fairy Tale Theatre offers up "Treasure Island," a participative play written by Steve and Kathy Hotchner.
Audience members will be led through an exciting and terrible storm at sea, a mosquito infested jungle, and into a treasure cave filled with eerie ghosts. The cast includes many favorites from previous productions. Donna Ieraci, our Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, plays the adventurous Jamie, whose discovery of a treasure map lures her into this adventure. Trevor Clark plays her uncle, Captain Smollet. Barry Schwam, loved for his portrayal of Scrooge in Sierra Madre's Christmas show, plays the notorious swashbuckling pirate Long John Silver. Andy Kovac is his colorful sidekick. And Shirley McConnell, known to many as Glenda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz production, does a character turn portraying Bertha Ben Bulba who returns for revenge on Long John Silver.
Kids from the audience participate, playing the crew on the ship. And everyone meets the cast for autographs after the show.
This Robert Louis Stevenson masterpiece is the 3rd in a series of 4 participative children's plays produced for the Sierra Madre Playhouse Fairy Tale Theatre. Our next play will be the musical "The Frog Prince" Opening June 26th. All four plays will then go into repertory and run every Saturday at 11 am and 2 pm through September 25th.
There will only be 4 performances of "Treasure Island." Saturday, May 15th at 2 pm and the following Saturdays May 22, 29, and June 5 also at 2 pm. Tickets are $18 for adults, and $12 for children under 12.
