Acme brings part of ‘Treasure Island’ to ‘Davisville’
Summers are busy for Acme Theatre Company, the Davis nonprofit run by high school students that promotes “serious theater, for the fun of it.” In August, the 31-year-old troupe will stage “Treasure Island,” plus its annual “By The Seat of Our Pants,” the set of short plays the members write, stage and present in 36 hours.
The latest version of “Davisville” discusses Acme’s “serious fun” DNA, plus “Treasure Island,” how Acme works, and related issues with troupe members Jake Kelly and Margaret Starbuck. Midway through the show, Eden Tomich and Emmett Barnes read a scene from the play on air. Tomich plays lead character Jim Hawkins, and Barnes plays Ben Gunn, a marooned pirate unhinged by years of isolation.
“Davisville,” hosted by Bill Buchanan, airs on KDRT, 95.7 FM, at 5:30 p.m. Mondays, 8:30 a.m. Wednesdays, 7:30 a.m. and midnight Saturdays and midnight Sundays. The Acme interview debuted Monday, and will be broadcast through July 29. It is also available in the KDRT archives at http://www.kdrt.org/node/9841.
