First Stage's Spring Shows

As I've mentioned before, First Stage Theatre Company had the rights pulled to the two shows it was planning to present in the Spring.

So with Junie B. Jones and the Monkey Business and A Year With Frog and Toad taken away, the First Stage board has scrambled to find two replacement shows.

One has been chosen, and an announcement should be coming soon about the second show. Replacing "Junie" is Charlotte's Web, a non-musical play based on the popular book.

It's a great show, one First Stage tackled 12 years ago (my youngest son played one of the Young Spiders in the show). The director is Amy Browning, and the producer is Jeanette Bills.

Auditions are scheduled for the second weekend in January 2009.

The other show (if we can get the details worked out) will be directed by me - hopefully we'll have an answer later this week. Stay tuned!
