Lakewood, OH - Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a
lifetime as Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater presents Treasure
Island on the Mackey Main Stage, October 24 through 26, 2008.   Directed
by Russ Stich, this production is freely adapted by Phil Willmott from
the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.  With its dastardly plot
and motley crew of rogues and villains, Treasure Island had enthralled
audiences of all ages for decades.  Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and
Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.  For tickets, call the Beck Center box
office at 216-521-2540 ext. 10.  Beck Center is located at 17801 Detroit
Avenue in Lakewood, just ten minutes west of downtown Cleveland.  Free
on-site parking is available.

Treasure Island features a cast of 36 talented students, ages 6 to 18,
from the Beck Center Education Program.  "This is a great script, it's
got everything a kid could want - pirates, sword fights, humor, and more
than a few surprises." commented Stich "But parents and adults will also
enjoy the show as they remember this classic story from their
childhood."  Stich teaches Theater Education classes at the Beck Center
and is an original member of Something Dada Improvisational Comedy.  In
addition to teaching and directing, he has been seen in numerous local
productions including Tony and Tina's Wedding at Playhouse Square. 

Tickets for Treasure Island are $10 for adults and $8 for children (12
and under).  Discounts are available for groups of 13 or more.  To
reserve tickets, call the Beck Center box office at 216-521-2540 ext.
