A New Musical by Joshua Goldberg
Adapted from the book by Robert Louis Stevenson
45 minutes | flexible cast
Set sail with cabin boy Jim Hawkins in this swashbuckling tale of buccaneers and buried gold. When Jim is given an old map by the mysterious seafarer Billy Bones, he leaves behind his mother’s inn and joins a ship with a secret mission: a search for lost treasure. He’s taken under the wing of Long John Silver, the ship’s one-legged cook, but when Silver reveals himself to be a bloodthirsty pirate Jim is thrust into an adventure more exciting – and dangerous – than he ever could have imagined.
