HISTORIC LITERATURE ADAPTATION
TREASURE ISLAND
THEATRE SCHOOL @ NORTH COAST REP
Adapted by Todd Espeland
Performances May 21st through May 24th, 2026
Solana Beach, CA. The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a literary adaptation with
drama and comedy, the classic adventure tale by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted by Todd Espeland, Treasure Island, as its next student production.
Treasure Island is a swashbuckling coming-of-age story, following the quest of the young Jim Hawkins to find and secure the hidden treasure of the infamous Captain Flint. Following a map given to him by the mysterious Billy Bones in his final moments, Jim is joined on his voyage by Dr Livesey, Squire Trelawney, and Captain Smollett. Aboard the Hispaniola, he soon befriends the ship’s one-legged cook, Long John Silver- a rugged sailor hiding a dark secret. Mutiny, swordfights, and desert islands, as well as parrots, skeletons, and buried treasure make this production an epic journey through the golden age of piracy.
Treasure Island is based on the serialized story written by Robert Louis Stevenson between 1881 and 1882. It defined pirates as we know them today, introducing the wooden leg, shoulder-perched parrot, and a treasure map marked with an “X”. It has been adapted countless times for various media, and has become a beloved favorite for many the world over.
Director, Steve Smith, says of the production, “Treasure Island is a perfect show for an ambitious theatre school like ours. In only 4 weeks of rehearsal, our cast have built characters with unique voices, accents, and bold physical choices, plus learned some swashbuckling stage combat!” Assistant Student Stage Manager, Emma Wright, adds “Pirate shows have a special place in my heart due to their whimsical stories and blunt humor… Seeing the young student actors grow and develop through this production has brought me lots of joy!” The show runs approximately 90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission, featuring heart-pounding adventure throughout. Additional production staff include Sound Designer, Natalia Demko; Stage Manager, Benedict Heaps; Lighting Designer, Liam Sullivan; Isabella Podesta, Student Assistant Director.
Featured in the cast are Pippa Diaz, Encinitas; Kiera Hewitt, Carlsbad; Koji Hinderliter, Hillcrest; Theodora Hoyle, Del Mar; Kaia Rae Minasian, Rancho Santa Fe; Gaby Neira, Carmel Valley; Alice Price, Carlsbad; Ruby Reid, Escondido; Maya Rosenberg, Del Mar; Nicole Sample, Encinitas; Harper Smith, Encinitas; Genvieve Tai, San Elijo Hills; Phoebe Thomas, San Marcos; Maeve Zavattero, Carlsbad.

Experience an unforgettable evening with Elijah Rock as he brings his newly acclaimed album Memories Unleashed – Impulse 1 to life on stage. Inspired by his father’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease, the album is both a celebration of timeless music and a deeply personal reflection on memory, love, and legacy.
Having spent weeks in the Top 40 on the national jazz charts, Memories Unleashed is a soulful journey through The Great American Songbook, blending the elegance of classic jazz with intimate storytelling rooted in lived experience. Each performance invites audiences into a space where music becomes a vessel for remembrance, connection, and hope.
Backed by a stunning roster of world-class musicians who have performed with legends including Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Nancy Wilson, and Natalie Cole, Memories Unleashed captures the sophistication and soul of a golden era, brought vividly into the present through arrangements critics have called “timeless, swinging, and deeply human.”
Through song, Elijah Rock reminds us that while memories may fade, the feelings they carry—and the people we love—remain forever within us.
Join Elijah Rock for an evening of refined swing, rich storytelling, and musical excellence that honors the past while inspiring the future.
