COCA Theatre Company (CTC) presents Arthur
Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons,
adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson, with songs by Neil Hannon. A musical
adventure for the whole family, Swallows and Amazons recalls an idyllic
era of endless summer evenings, as a group of imaginative children sets sail on an exotic adventure to encounter savages, capture dastardly
pirates and defeat mortal enemies – all before their summer vacation
ends. This CTC production is directed by Shanara Gabrielle and Alec Wild, with
music direction by Joe Schoen. The cast includes teen members of CTC as well as
adult St. Louis actors. Recommended for ages 5 and up. Performances are Saturday, January 25, at 2:00pm and 5:00pm and Sunday,
January 26, at 1:00pm at COCA, 524 Trinity Avenue, St. Louis, MO. Tickets are $10-14.
