Firebird Youth Theater presents

TREASURE ISLAND

Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson

Adapted for the stage by Leo Lion

When a drunk old sailor and a secret map arrive on the doorstep of a coastal English tavern, innkeeper’s son Jim Hawkins finds himself falling fast into an adventure that will change his life for good. Swept up in a search for a legendary pirate's treasure hoard, Jim joins the company of the Hispaniola alongside pragmatic and rational Doctor Livesey, airheaded Squire Trelawney, willful and stubborn Captain Smollett, and a host of cheery sailors. The voyage seems to be clear skies, fair winds, and smooth sailing. But Jim and his friends will soon find that not everything is as simple as it appears.  

Firebird Youth Theater returns to the stage with Treasure Island – a brand-new original adaptation of the classic adventure story by Robert Louis Stevenson. A small but versatile cast breathes new life into a rollicking ocean journey full of mystery, murder, and treasure.
