Cumberland County Playhouse Captain Courageous

CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, a stirring new musical based on the Rudyard Kipling book and the Hollywood film, is at the Cumberland County Playhouse in Crossville, TN through December 19th. CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, is sponsored by Dr. Stanley Bise, M.D. A sellout when we premiered it in 1995, CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS is filled with powerful sailors, choruses, and the drama and majesty of the sea.
CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS follows the adventures of Harvey Cheyne, the arrogant and spoiled son of a railroad tycoon. Washed overboard from his father’s luxury liner and rescued by Portuguese fisherman Manuel (Stephen Mitchell Brown), the spoiled rich kid at first demands to be taken to his destination in Europe, and fights the regimen of the ship. But working to earn his keep and laboring alongside the crew teaches the boy respect, and he is then respected in return. The challenging singing and acting role of Harvey is played by Cumberland County’s 12 year old Isaiah Banegas in his Playhouse debut.

Also showing at the Playhouse: A SANDERS FAMILY CHRISTMAS, sponsored by Cumberland County Bank, and OLIVER!, sponsored by M. Stewart Galloway, M.D. Cumberland Eye Care. Tickets can be purchased from the Playhouse Box Office at (931) 484 – 5000. Visit us online at www.ccplayhouse.com to view our full season schedule and additional information.
