Director: Elizabeth Sobczyk

Show Type: 

This is a 30 person cast with a comedic theme.

​

Synopsis: 

Seven castaways find themselves shipwrecked on a deserted island.  However, much to their surprise, they find the island isn’t deserted at all, but rather home to many “fictional” island characters, including pirates, mermaids, misfit toys, Captain Fork, Peter Pain, Stinker Bell, the lost children, and even the Dread Pirate Roberto.  Following a humorous storyline, much like Gilligan's Island,  the castaways come to understand what true love is all about.  They are able to see their own faults mirrored through the actions of their counter-egos (the fictional characters) and come to realize love endures all things.  Based on 1 Corinthians 13.

Rehearsal Date Conflicts:

Please provide us any known dates and times you will not be able to be at rehearsals when filling out the online form. The list of rehearsal dates has been listed above. It is very important that everyone makes a committment to being at all of the rehearsals as it is very difficult to rehearse when cast and crew members are not present. By providing known conflict dates, we can plan our rehearsals according to availability of cast. If you have more then two known conflicts we may need to cast some who audition in alternate roles if and when possible.

​

• Tech Day - Tuesday March 12th from 4:30pm - 8:30pm

• Dress Rehearsal - Wednesday March 13th from 4:30pm - 8:30pm

Important:

All Cast and Crew must commit to being at all tech days, dress rehearsal and show dates. We know that illness and unexpected situations happen, however, participating in live performancing arts requires each cast and crew member to be available for all of these dates and times to be considered for a role.
