Treasure Island
Runtime: 70-90 mins | Cast size: 30-65
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest...
Those were the last words uttered by legendary pirate Captain Flint, but few dare speak them now. But to Jim, a humble innkeeper's son, those words are a call to adventure. Jim's dreams of a life at sea come true sooner than he imagines when grizzled sailor BIlly Bones dies in mysterious circumstances, entrusting Jim with a weathered treasure map. Jim finds himself swept up in a voyage across the high seas to recover Flint's untold fortunes. But Flint's former crew, led by the dastardly Long John Silver, have not forgotten the treasure and are willing to do whatever it takes to find it first. As both sides battle with spirits, shipwrecks, and long-kept secrets, their fate will be decided on Treasure Island.
