Auditions for Angel Street (Gaslight)
Angel Street focuses on a seemingly normal couple, the Manninghams. It turns out that the suave Jack Manningham is slowly torturing his wife, Bella, into insanity under the guise of kindness. Soon, Bella is visited by a Scotland Yard inspector, Roughy. He convinces her that her husband is a maniacal criminal wanted for a murder committed 15-years-ago. Bella gains confidence in herself as she and the inspector work together to build up evidence against Jack. Looking for two males, three females, and two extras.
July 21-30th
Charlotte's Web
The Suwannee Valley Players and Chief Theater are proud to present the Children’s Summer Production and their version of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web adapted by Joseph Robinette. The Children's Literature Association named this "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer."
Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. Presented by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company, Woodstock, Illinois. Friday and Saturday evenings at 8PM and Sunday’s at 2PM. Call 352-493-ARTS to reserve your tickets.
July 22nd and July 29th
Special Saturday Matinee's! What Fools These Mortals Be
A meditation on love, taken from the works of Shakespeare, adapted by Anthony Powell. Excerpts from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, the Taming of the Shrew, and Love's Labor's Lost alternate with some of the bard's most beautiful sonnets in this very funny and moving show. 2pm. Call 352-493-ARTS to reserve your tickets.
It's all happening at the Chief.
