The Studio Presentation Series

The Studio Presentation Series initiated in the fall of 2009 has succeeded in engaging both patrons and artists. Targeted for specific-aged audiences rather than the wide-reaching family fare of the Main Stage, the series provides community artists with a unique opportunity to participate in the creative process of “trying our” new, more experimental works under the direction of emerging professional artists. This program allows our company to both cultivate new talent and challenge audiences.

Wiley & The Hairy Man

Play by Suzan L. Zeder

ALL YOUTH PRODUCTION!

February 17-26, 2012
Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday & Sunday at 4:00pm
Recommended for All Ages

All tickets are $12.00

Set deep within the mysterious Tombigbee Swamp, Wiley & the Hairy Man centers around a fatherless boy, his conjure-woman Mother, his faithful dog, and the Hairy Mann who haunts Wiley’s days and dreams. Through rhythm and rhyme, a Chorus creates the mystery of the swamp. The magic of this play is not fairy dust — it is soil. The magic of the earth, the mud of the swamp, and the magic of survival are the ingredients for this piece. In an exciting duel of wits, Wiley learns to rely upon his own resources and conquers two villains; the Hairy and and his own fear.

Like The Code Breaker, this was produced in our inaugural season in 1982-83 and again in 1985-86

Tickets for the final two performances (Feb 25th & Feb 26th at 4pm) are available. Tickets may be purchased at the door, the Box Office will open 45 minutes prior to performance time.
