ESCAPE FROM PELIGRO ISLAND - A CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE PLAY at First Stage

Up next in First Stage's Virtual Season of Plays is ESCAPE FROM PELIGRO ISLAND - A CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE PLAY, written by award-winning, internationally renowned children's playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer (THE SNOW, 2015 and ANTARCTICA, WI, 2018) and directed by First Stage Artistic Director Jeff Frank. Each performance will be a unique livestream performance where the audience votes at critical times as to the choices protagonist Callaway Brown should make - and the actors will need to respond in the moment and plunge forward. No two performances will be the same.

In this virtual play we find Callaway Brown - an unlikely young hero - who has been stranded on a desert island, and it's up to the audience to decide what happens next! In this interactive production, audience members vote on Callaway's actions in an energetic romp through time and space. Will Callaway time travel to the Wild West and meet a talking horse? Develop superpowers and fight crime in the future? Or have a crush on a vampire? This is create-your-own-adventure theatre using your phone - audience members will be voting on the path for the hero. And Callaway's fate is in their hands! Sponsored by Children's Wisconsin.
