The Matheson Museum Unveils a Fresh Take on 'Treasure Island' in Collaboration With a University Outdoor Theatre Group

A new collaboration is bringing a timeless adventure story to life in an unexpected outdoor setting. The recent staging marries classic literature with innovative performance, sparking a talk about storytelling within the community.

A Partnership Between History and Performance

This production reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic high-seas thriller about pirates, treasure maps, and mutiny, with the performers transforming property signage and walkways into ship decks and sandy shores directly in front of diners moving along the midways.

Key Aspects of the Performance

• Adapted Text: The classic script was shortened and reframed to make effective staging on concrete driveways.


• Civic Touchstone: Anchoring production rehearsals serves notice that historically archived literature reaches general occupancy.


• Titular Mapping Concern: Local myth roots all stolen items as surviving properties excavated park road cut clay.

Audience Impact
