Missoula Children’s Theatre “Treasure Island” at MCT Center for the Performing Arts

Written and Conceived by Jim Caron
Music and Lyrics by Jim Caron and Michael McGill

The Missoula Children’s Theatre takes pride in presenting Treasure Island, an original adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s epic novel.

Young Jim Hawkins, a mischievous lad, lives with his mother and six sisters in a seaside village on the coast of Maine. The year is 1782, and the American Revolutionary War is in its last days. Longing for adventure, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of the legendary 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 a flock of seagulls as guides. Always up for adventure, Jim’s ruffian friends say farewell to their village parents 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 proverbial happy ending. Then- at last- the treasure is found, and hand in hand we’re homeward bound.
