I have wanted to direct this show ever since I saw a production 20 years ago! When the rights �nally became available, I jumped at the opportunity! Gilligan’s Island brings back so many fun childhood memories. Maybe the show was goofy and farfetched- ok, it was ridiculous- but it was so much fun! �e musical in-corporates some of the best moments of the T.V. show with the added bonus of singing and dancing! �e stage show was written by the series creator Sherwood Shwartz and his family so it makes sense that all of the original fun is here. �e best part is that somehow, in less than two hours, we get to know the beloved characters even better than we did watching all 3 seasons of the show on endless re-runs! You can take the show at face value and just have a ball laughing at Gil-ligan and Skipper, debating Ginger or Mary Ann, wondering about the Howell's wealth and admiring �e Professor (I always think of his �rst name as “�e”) and you’d have an evening’s entertainment. But if you care to look deeper (and some do, entire college theses have been written on the topic of Gilligan! Go �gure!) I think the creators did a beautiful job of bringing a few simple truths to light. For example, how do people who are all so di�erent from one another manage to live together in (mostly) harmony? Gilligan points us in the right direction when he says “All the people on the boat come from di�erent places, but they’re all very nice…” We’ve found that to be true- when we are nice to each other in spite of our di�erences, we not only get along, we have a ball! I hope you have as much fun as we have! Now, just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…
