The play is an adaptation of the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, but this play version by Phil Wilmott is a zany and preposterous take-off on the daring adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Teens from Marianas High School, Saipan Southern High School, Grace Christian Academy, and Saipan International School reprise the roles of the show: Jim Hawkins (a good-hearted English lad), Long John Silver (a dastardly pirate), George Merry\/Billy Bones (a pirate with a treasure map), Lady Trelawney (a rich entrepreneur), Miss Livesy (her butterfly-enraptured scientific sidekick), Captain Smollett (captain of the Hispaniola), Meg Trueblood (a tavern owner), Ben Gunn (a castaway), and a cast of pirates including Blind Pugh, Black Dog, Israel Hands, Shoreditch Sal, Nightingale Nell, Picadilly Poll, Cheng I Sao, Gentleman Jack, and the parrot Captain Flint, along with a fantasy revue chorus of cheese and mice!<\/p>\n<p>The show is directed by MHS teens Liezel Tiples and Mathew Lopez, with assistance from technical director Kristine Valencia and a large tech crew.<\/p>\n<p>Show time is 7pm on Friday and Saturday and 3pm on Sunday, Nov. 18, 19, and 20, at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe. Tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Press Release Students from four area high schools are collaborating to present a production&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11705\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
