Summer on Stage: Treasure Island at Garde Arts Center

The Garde Arts Center in New London presents Treasure Island, an original musical adaptation brought to life by participants of the Summer on Stage program in partnership with the Missoula Children’s Theatre.

Set in 1782 during the waning days of the American Revolution, this imaginative retelling follows young Jim Hawkins, a mischievous boy living with his mother and six sisters in a coastal Maine village. After discovering a treasure map at the family inn, Jim embarks on a high-seas adventure under the influence of the legendary pirate Long John Silver. Alongside his ruffian friends-turned-cabin boys and a quirky band of pirates, Jim sets sail with only a flock of gulls and a worn map as guides.

Packed with humor, colorful characters, and a dash of danger, Treasure Island is a heartwarming tale of adventure, discovery, and ultimately, homecoming.

The production culminates a week of workshops and rehearsals and will be performed on Friday, August 1 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, August 2 at 11:00 am at the Garde Arts Center, 325 State Street, New London, Connecticut.
