A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

Since 1923, musicians and artists have earned their education through Life Pacific University, finding creative ways to communicate the message of the gospel with a relevance that is unique to their culture. Now, twice a year, when the Rolf K. McPherson Chapel transforms with extravagant sets and magnificent props, members of LPU and the local community fill the seats to behold entertaining and engaging performances from a talented cast of LPU students. Our theater productions allow students to express their creativity, develop their talents, and learn to use their gifts to serve communities and glorify Christ.
