The Francis Marion University Theatre's spring production of the 2001-2002 season, to run April 10-13, is the Paul Sills' Story Theatre. Under the direction of Associate Professor of Theatre Arts Glen Gourley and assisted by Jessica Alison, this play is an adaptation of selections from Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aeosop's Fables featuring such stories as "Henny Penny," "The Golden Goose," "The Fisherman and his Wife," and "Venus and the Cat," just to name a few.  These dramatizations, accessible to both children and adults, will be presented much in the style of the commedia dell arte' traveling players.  Story Theatre -- early rehearsals

The Francis Marion University Theatre started the season with Aristophanes' very bawdy comedy Lysistrata followed by Tom Griffith's The Boys Next Door.
