FLORENCE LITTLE THEATRE TO PRESENT

Charlotte’s Web

Adapted by Joseph Robinette

Based on the book by E.B. White

Directed by Brad Sponic

The Florence Little Theatre will present the Armstrong Management Wealth Group production of Charlotte’s Web on July 11-13 and July 18-20, 2014.  This play is being directed by Brad Sponic.

All your favorite characters are present in this faithful stage adaptation of E.B. White’s legendary novel. 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. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will provide you with an evening of enchantment. (Not included in the regular membership)

The Florence Little Theatre is located at 417 S. Dargan Street.    Tickets will go on sale on July 7, 2014.  Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For more information, please call 662-3731 or visit our website at www.florencelittletheatre.org.

Audition Alert at the Florence Little Theatre: June 16th, 17th & 20th (Ragtime)

Ragtime

Book by Terrance McNally

Music by Stephen Flaherty

Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Based on the novel, Ragtime, by E.L. Doctorow

Directed by Shaw Thompson

Underwritten by Wells Fargo

AUDITIONS at FLT

Saturday, June 16th at 10:00am (ages 8-13)

Sunday, June 17th at 7:30pm (ages 14 and older)

Wednesday, June 20th at 7:30pm (ages 14 and older)

Ragtime is not only a powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, but a relevant tale for today. The musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.

The Tony-winning score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself. It draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems.
