By: James T Harding Feb. 29, 2012
The Boiler Room Theatre's Youth Education Program, YEP!, will be performing CHARLOTTE'S WEB on Saturdays in March at 10:00am.
Charlotte’s Web will feature Will Sevier as Wilbur, Vicki White as Charlotte, Corrie Miller as Goose, Gander, and Unclu, Sondra Morton as the Old Sheep and Lurvy, Jeremy Maxwell as Templeton, Avery, and Homer. The youth performer, Hope Dyra will be portraying the role of Fern.
In addition to Saturday performances, YEP will offer a variety of experiences that includes touring productions, readings of children’s book, and storytelling sessions.
YEP! plans to tour in Williamson County School Systems beginning in March- May 2012 with Charlotte’s Web. There will also be special events in coordination with John Steinbeck’s classic play Of Mice and Men running April 13- May 5, 2012.
Sondra Morton, Artistic Director for YEP!, stated, “The creation of YEP! fulfills a passion of mine for touring productions. I have always had a passion for children’s theatre, and the opportunity to inspire YEP! Youth Education Programs children at this ‘stage’ in their life through theatre productions. I don’t think that Williamson County Schools will be disappointed. YEP! will enhance the teaching and learning experience for both the teachers and the students by integrating two mediums to maximize the learning experience.”
Jamey Green, Artistic Director for Boiler Room Theatre said, “As Boiler Room Theatre moves forward into our 12th year, we are proud to be giving our community the gift of live professional theatre in the school systems. It is something that hasn’t been in Williamson County for years, and we know that this program can inspire the kids of Williamson County.”
