This “PG-13” show is a spirited farce about an eclectic group of college prep school girls who accidentally sink their cruise ship and struggle to create a new society on a volcanic island.

Hanna, the acid-tongued Homecoming queen and prom committee chair, quickly splinters off into her tribe of popular girls and wannabes, while Lourdes, a heavily medicated, highly resourceful young woman is left behind with the other outcast-a-ways. Far from “civilization,” and just as Lourdes begins to regain her true personality and confidence, transforming into an able leader, further complications arise when other survivors wash ashore: Billy Tweetwhistle, the once unpopular boy, now the only male within five hundred miles; Mrs. Clincher, the disciplinarian Assistant Headmistress, rewired after a blow to the head who believes she is the 18-year old bisexual nymphomaniac she once was; and a mysterious, “hot,” one-legged pirate.

Directed by William Leavengood, and produced by The Palladium, The Beth Morean Trust, and Will Knot Di Productions, Lourdes of the Flies stars talented young performers from New York, as well as from Tampa Bay colleges and high schools.
