A classic tale of buccaneers and buried gold, Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novel Treasure Island has been a beloved staple of page, stage and screen since it was first published more than 130 years ago. Now the Spreckels Performing Arts Center invites your whole family to join Jim Hawkins as he tells of his unforgettable exploits rife with pirates, treasure and tropical islands. A 14-year-old boy who longs for a more exciting life, Hawkins gets all he wishes for – and then some – when he’s swept away from his parents’ inn and into the wild world of legendary swashbucklers like Long John Silver. Fun for young and old alike, this Ken Ludwig-penned adaptation of Treasure Island provides a streamlined and exciting adventure for anyone with a soft spot for pirates.
