Treasure Island
By Ken Ludwig
Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson

Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is an unforgettable tale of treachery and mayhem featuring a host of legendary swashbucklers. At the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old boy who longs for adventure, and the infamous Long John Silver, who is a complex study of good and evil, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time. If you enjoyed last season’s Three Musketeers, come on board for another exciting adventure loaded with sword-fights, villains and good guys "...a racy, pacy, tough-as-old-boots adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling classic!" - The Telegraph

The Servant of Two Masters
By Carlo Goldoni
Translated and Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher & Paolo Emilio Landi

A cross between traditional Italian commedia and postmodern vaudeville, this new version of Goldoni's classic pits the madcap servant Truffaldino against masters, mistresses, lovers, lawyers and twenty-seven plates of meatballs. Imagine a Bob Hope or Woody Allen comedy written by Monty Python and performed with the physical bravura of Chaplin or Keaton - with places in the script for ad-libs and audience participation. If last season's surprise hit Around the World in 80 Days was your cup of tea, then don't miss The Servant of Two Masters! "Broad, bold whacked out and wild! Unforgettable, undiminished delight!" - Milwaukee Weekly
