Add Review/Comment

Perennial favorite California Theatre Center brings back The Cay, last seen at PAYS in 2001. Adapted from Theodore Taylor's gripping novel, The Cay is the compelling journey of 11-year-old Phillip, whose life is plunged into chaos when his ship is torpedoed, and he and a Caribbean man named Timothy escape on a crude raft to a deserted island. The young Virginia boy dislikes Timothy immediately because he is huge, very old and black. Blinded in the shipwreck, the boy's only chance for survival is to let Timothy teach him the skills needed for life on the cay, and soon he discovers that his companion is a wise and dignified man and that the color of one's skin does not determine a person's worth in the world.

    I didn't know what to think, I mean, my daughter and I don't know Sign Language but I wanted her to see the play. After seeing it... not only was it very interesting because all the characters use sign language but they voice everything too. The show was amazing. Lot's of high energy just for the kids and lots of audience interaction with the actors during the show. William Morgan sure knows his stuff and knows how to entertain children. Collapse

    Loved it! As a transposed Asheville,Western North Carolinian moving to Foster City in 1971, I was homesick for the Blue Ridge Mountains' song and dance...I recognized the Square Dance steps from Asheville High School Square Dance Team some 45 years ago...Loved the energy and Side Saddle Music, especially Rocky Top...Keep explaining the ethnic influences of the region (the Geltic influence explains my husband's W.N.C. accent)...Yee haw and kudos to you all for such a fine toe tapping hand clapping slapping time! Glad I volunteered for my Granddaughter Arianna's Field Trip...Please come back and perform again... Collapse
