This sequel takes place years after Jim and crew return to England. Jim and his wife are threatened by pirates who kidnap their daughter, Alexandra, and take her back to Treasure Island for the remaining cache of gold buried there. Jim and his family join forces with the famous buccaneer, Long John Silver, and a French pirate, Anne Dieu-Le-Veut, to pursue the pirates and rescue Alexandra. Heroic women save the day.

“It is fantastic to see this production come to life,” Hardiman says. “We are staging it as a particularly intimate and intense experience. Our audience will sit just inches from this exciting adventure.”

Visit LLCC’s James S. Murray Gallery by May 10 to view artwork in the Annual Student Art Show. Sixty-three art students submitted a total of 144 entries for consideration, representing 10 of LLCC’s studio classes.

Sarah Smelser, MFA, professor of art at Illinois State University and co-founder of Manneken Press, served as juror for the show. She selected 60 art entries out of the 144, as well as the winners in the studio art categories. Smelser’s work has appeared in such collections as the Readers’ Digest Association, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, the Jane Vorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, the Spencer Museum at University of Kansas, Hallmark Corporate Collection and the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts.

Michelle Coakes, soon-to-be retired professor of art and resident ceramics expert, shared this summary of her recent trip with several students to the National Conference on Education of the Ceramic Arts with the assistance of a faculty development grant.
