Swaggerin’ scallywags,
boisterous buccaneers, it’s Long John Silver and the gang in a wild and wacky,
eye-patched musical starring Portland’s own Captain Bogg & Salty!
In this classic coming of age tale, young Jim
Hawkins tracks down pirate treasure with a stolen treasure map.
But along the way, he encounters the menacing Long John Silver and his
motley crew of pirates!
All kids attending are encouraged
to dress up like pirates. Come
early to walk the plank and participate in the OCT Pirate Dance Party featuring
Greasy Kid Stuff with Belinda and Hova spinning swashbuckling tunes in the lobby
before and after all performances
Based on the book by Robert
Louis Stevenson and adapted by Eric
Schmiedl, The Ghosts of Treasure
Island is
directed by Greg Tamblyn. The
play features music composed and performed by Captain Bogg & Salty.
Leif Norby plays Long John
Silver and Ryan Stathos plays Jim
Hawkins. Set Design is by Glenn
Gauer, Lighting Design by Gene Dent,
Sound Design by Rody Ortega, and
Costume Design by Margaret Louise Chapman.
