LLCC Theatre’s “Revenge: Treasure Island” May 11-13, 19 and 20
LLCC Theatre in collaboration with Cutlass Artists will present the world premiere of “Revenge: Treasure Island” on Friday through Sunday, May 11-13, and Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20, at 8 p.m. The performances will be staged in the lower level of Sangamon Hall South.
Tickets must be purchased in advance as no tickets will be sold at the door. Seating is extremely limited for this special event. In fact, tickets for Saturday, May 19 are already sold out. Tickets may be purchased at www.cutlassartists.com. General admission is $15, seniors are $12 and students with ID are $7.
“Revenge: Treasure Island” was written by Mark Hardiman, LLCC professor of theatre, who is also directing. This original play is the swashbuckling sequel to “Treasure Island,” a theatrical adaptation by Hardiman of the book by Robert Louis Stevenson.
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.”

Continued coil replacement work in Sangamon and Menard halls
In continuation of work that began last fall, there will be work occurring in the Sangamon and Menard mechanical penthouses that will require fans to be turned off from May 9-11. All fans will remain on during the week of May 14-18 as to not interfere with final exams. It is likely that work will continue during the week of May 21-24. The contractor has been asked to only turn off one fan at a time (there are two in Sangamon and two in Menard) and that the fans only be turned off in the morning as temperatures will rise in the afternoon. While this work is occurring, there may be times that some areas of both buildings may feel a bit stuffy when the fans are off. If anyone should have a concern that areas are becoming too stuffy, please give me a call Tim Ervin, director of construction and environmental health and safety, immediately. Your understanding during this time frame is appreciated as work is done to improve the overall quality of the mechanical system in both buildings.
