[2:00pm] Lawton Community Theatre presents it's Summer Youth Production - Wiley and the H
- Description:
- "Wiley & the Hairy Man" tells the story of Wiley, a child growing up in a magical swamp with his Mama and his Dog. Sent into the swamp to find wood to build a house for his best friend (his Dog), Wiley finds himself pursued by his worst nightmare and greatest fear -- THE HAIRY MAN! Though Dog tries to protect him and Mama arms him with magic, Wiley realizes that he alone must face the Hairy Man and conquer him with wit and reason.
The story "Wiley & the Hairy Man" is a traditional folk tale with origins in the American south. The story was first written down during the Great Depression through the work of the WPA's Federal Writers Project. There are many versions of "Wiley". Our production is by Susan Zeder.
Ms. Zeder's telling of the story utilizes an ensemble chorus that narrates the story and organically creates the majority of the scenic elements of the play. It enhances the magic feeling that runs through the story and makes it visually interesting for the audience.
The cast is made up of 19 young people. They range in age from 7 to 16. Each of them has varying levels of theatre experience -- some have several shows under their belts, while for some this is their first show. All the kids are enthusiastic and very creative. They are willing to try anything and work very hard during rehearsals. We'll rehearse approximately 35-40 hours by the time we open..
Our Wiley is played by Samantha Shady. Wiley's Mama is Sophie Kent. Wiley's Dog is Sam Hill. Preston Patton is The Hairy Man. The chorus is Alex Bohnet, Robert Bohnet, Kasia Carter, Zariah Carter, Andrew Celedon, Isabel Celedon, Joseph Dickson, Alexa Ericson, Arissa Ericson, Bella Hancosky, Lindsey Hodges, Chloe Philpott, Emma Shady, Elizabeth Sickler and Ciara Smith.
The show runs one weekend only -- Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21 at 7:00 pm and Sunday, July 22 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults -- $5 for children 12 and under.
