“TREASURE ISLAND” LAUNCHES 12th SEASON
OF OVER THE MOON FAMILY THEATER
ON NOVEMBER 7
-- A Beloved Classic Sails Into Pikes Peak Center -Colorado Springs, CO – Imagination Celebration kicks off its 12th year of bringing
literacy-based family theater to the Pikes Peak Center stage with its 2012/2013 Over the
Moon Family Theater season. The first production of the season is the beloved classic
tale of pirates and swashbuckling adventure, “Treasure Island.”
Based on the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, this Magik Theatre production tells the
classic tale of buccaneers and buried gold. Sail aboard the HMS Hispaniola with young
Jim Hawkins for a daring adventure. In a conflict between good and evil, Jim
courageously faces danger, learns that evil can masquerade as good, and matures from a
boy into manhood. Join him, the good doctor, the squire, sinister Blind Pew, marooned
Ben Gunn, the infamous Long John Silver and a colorful crew of buccaneers for this
exciting musical adventure.
This performance is produced by The Magik Theatre: On the Road from San Antonio,
Texas. This outstanding children’s theatre company only produces plays that are based on
books children were reading in schools. It is what sets them apart from many other
companies. And this philosophy jives perfectly with the mission of Over the Moon
Family Theater in only bringing productions to the Pikes Peak region that are literacybased. The addition of a full time Music Director at The Magik Theatre ensures that all of
their productions were enriched with music. The November 7 production of “Treasure
Island” will be no different in these respects, which will make it a rousing and memorable
performance for the audience.
Like each show in the Over the Moon Family Theater season, “Treasure Island” is a
special Imagination Experience with families encouraged to don their favorite jammies or
