The following is from interACT Kids Theater:
The weather fails to hold back the two casts of 8-13 year olds who star in interACT Theater Productions’ version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s children’s pirate-adventure classic “Treasure Island,’’ which is set for three make-up shows Jan. 28 and 29th at the Baird Center in South Orange.
The show has two complete casts, which perform separately to give more kids the chance to participate and learn. Cast Swashbucklers will perform Friday at 7:30 p.m., while Cast Buccaneers will perform Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday at 5:30 p.m. Five other showings all sold out before last week’s snowstorm hit.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here.

Treasure Island is the second interACT Youth production run by the team of Tasha R. Williams (director) and Meara Franowicz (Stage Manager). They led last year’s sold-out shows of Schoolhouse Rock, Jr. as well.
The set was designed by Kevern Cameron , who recently received a Perry nomination for his set of Summit’s Harvey, and whose direction in Doubt at Chester’s Black River Playhouse was recently recognized with a NJ Footlights Award.
