Treasure Island at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

HISTORIC LITERATURE ADAPTATION

TREASURE ISLAND

 

THEATRE SCHOOL @ NORTH COAST REP

Adapted by Todd Espeland

 

Performances May 21st through May 24th, 2026

Solana Beach, CA. The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a literary adaptation with

drama and comedy, the classic adventure tale by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted by Todd Espeland, Treasure Island, as its next student production.

 

Treasure Island is a swashbuckling coming-of-age story, following the quest of the young Jim Hawkins to find and secure the hidden treasure of the infamous Captain Flint. Following a map given to him by the mysterious Billy Bones in his final moments, Jim is joined on his voyage by Dr Livesey, Squire Trelawney, and Captain Smollett. Aboard the Hispaniola, he soon befriends the ship’s one-legged cook, Long John Silver- a rugged sailor hiding a dark secret. Mutiny, swordfights, and desert islands, as well as parrots, skeletons, and buried treasure make this production an epic journey through the golden age of piracy.

 

Treasure Island is based on the serialized story written by Robert Louis Stevenson between 1881 and 1882. It defined pirates as we know them today, introducing the wooden leg, shoulder-perched parrot, and a treasure map marked with an “X”. It has been adapted countless times for various media, and has become a beloved favorite for many the world over.

 

Director, Steve Smith, says of the production, “Treasure Island is a perfect show for an ambitious theatre school like ours. In only 4 weeks of rehearsal, our cast have built characters with unique voices, accents, and bold physical choices, plus learned some swashbuckling stage combat!” Assistant Student Stage Manager, Emma Wright, adds “Pirate shows have a special place in my heart due to their whimsical stories and blunt humor… Seeing the young student actors grow and develop through this production has brought me lots of joy!” The show runs approximately 90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission, featuring heart-pounding adventure throughout. Additional production staff include Sound Designer, Natalia Demko; Stage Manager, Benedict Heaps; Lighting Designer, Liam Sullivan; Isabella Podesta, Student Assistant Director.

Six the Musical at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a musical show with drama and comedy, the hit musical by Toby Marlow and Lucy Ross, SIX the Musical Teen Edition, as its next student production.

SIX is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII, presented in the form of a singing competition, within a pop concert. In the show, the wives take turns telling their stories to determine who suffered the most from their shared husband, but ultimately seek to reclaim their individual identities and rewrite their stories.

SIX is based on real historical events and figures, taking artistic liberties in its portrayal of these characters. The musical incorporates elements of historical fact, such as the marriages, divorces, and executions of the six queens, but brings them into a modern light, with tongue-in-cheek comedy and toe-tapping (to say the least) musical numbers.

 

Director Kayla René says of the production, “Each of the queens is even styled after a specific pop star, matching both voice and look to their pop star counterpart, while style and personality links to their historical queen. Audiences will be stunned at the amount of dance and music throughout the show and how effective its storytelling devices are.” Musical Director Marty Rose Vadeboncoeur adds, “These students are fearlessly rising to the challenge. It is so incredible watching them cheer each other on as they try out new riffs, or seeing the excitement when they absolutely nail a harmony. “ The show runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission, featuring non-stop energy throughout. Additional production staff include Sound Designer, Jerson Rivas; Stage Manager, Benedict Heaps; Lighting Designer, Matt FitzGerald; and crew, Basil FitzGerald
