April

| 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. |  |

The cast will
include Jason Abernathy, Brent Ard, Latisha Bowens, Susan Capps, Terry
Covington, Carol Graziani, Charles Julg, Sarah Thorowgood, Terrell
Washington and Greg Williams. They will stage the show as
though they have just "pulled into town" and are performing for a
gathering audience.
The Francis Marion University Theatre started the season with Aristophanes' very bawdy comedy Lysistrata followed by Tom Griffith's The Boys Next Door. Reservations for Story Theatre may be made beginning April 1 by calling the box office at 661-1365. The box office will be open to reserve seats Monday through Friday from 1 pm to 5 pm. All tickets are free to the public. Curtain is at 8:00 with a Saturday matinee for the Art's Alive Festival. |
