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.

A glimpse of the personalities of the presidents, through the eyes and hearts of the women who knew the private men, before they entered their all-consuming public lives.Read More...

What is it like for a woman when her husband becomes the president of the United States-and she is thrust into the spotlight? This witty, sly and deeply moving script explores the hopes and fears of Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon and Betty Ford. In three scenes taking place in the family quarters of the White House, each of the women confides to the audience. Secrets are spilled about their husbands’ rise to power, their romances with the men and their paths as wives in the White House. Lady Bird Johnson defends her husband’s quirks but finally admits, “Politics is his oxygen.” Pat Nixon recalls happier times before exploding in anger about Watergate. Betty Ford admits to being quite lost about life after the White House. Each of the three portraits becomes intimate as the women wrestle with what Pat Nixon called “the hardest unpaid job in the world.” “A beautiful script, full of humor and heartbreak. The production paints realistic-and often unthought-of-images of the First Ladies.” (austinonstage.com)
