Pocket Opera: La Vie Parisienne
by Jacques Offenbach
Sunday, June 6, 2pm, $30/$35
As a very young man, Offenbach arrived in Paris from a small town in Germany and promptly fell in love with the city -- a love affair that lasted a lifetime and culminated in this magnificent, mischievous, joyful paean to his adopted city. He was but one of the thousands of visitors that pour into Paris each day from all parts of the world to view the splendors of the city of light, to seek adventure, excitement and thrills, and get a brief, succulent taste of La Vie Parisienne.

TREASURE ISLAND
Written and Conceived by Jim Caron
Music and Lyrics by Jim Caron and Michael McGill
The Missoula Children's Theatre takes pride in presenting, TREASURE ISLAND, an original adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s epic novel. Young Jim Hawkins, a mischievous lad, lives with his mother and six sisters in a seaside village on the coast of Maine. The year is 1782 and the American War for Revolution is in its last days. Longing for adventure, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of the legendary pirate, Long John Silver. While waiting tables in the family Inn, Jim finds a treasure map and, with the villainous Silver as his seeming mentor, sails uncharted seas with only the ragged map and a flock of gulls as guides. Always up for adventure, Jim’s ruffian friends say farewell to their village parents and serve as cabin boys for Silver and his band of hilarious (although unsavory) pirate types. Once on the island, nights are sleepless as true colors are revealed in our hero’s quest for the proverbial happy ending. Then - at last - the treasure is found and hand in hand we’re homeward bound. TREASURE ISLAND - it’ll shiver your timbers!
