A special performance on the Mainstage this week at A. D. Players, A Phoenix Too Frequent by Christopher Fry. 'Phoenix' is a story of romance redemption and resurrection. Perhaps in it you may find an allegory just right for Easter. Directed by Jeannette Clift George. The A. D. Players also open a wonderful children's show, the timeless classic, Charlotte's Web. Meet Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and a host of other barnyard animals as they struggle to save Wilbur from becoming breakfast. Acclaimed by the Children's Literature Association as "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," Charlotte’s Web is a delight and a must-see for young and old. |
