SHIPWRECKED!
An Entertainment:

The Amazing Adventures of
Louis De Rougemont

(As Told by Himself)

 

Directed by
Cynthia Meier 

  

January 5 - 22, 2012

 

A fanciful journey, told with startling theatricality, that begins with a young boy determined to see the world. See it he does--from England to the South Seas and back over a thirty year span, all the while accompanied by his faithful dog. When he tells his story in print, he becomes the toast of London and the living example of how to survive by one's own ingenuity...or does he?  Shipwrecked! is an adventure for all ages.
