No better way to tackle early spring fever than by taking in a performance of the Whitewater Middle School Players performance of “Far Fetched Fairytales” in the James M. Stewart (WHS) Auditorium on April 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. and April 13 at 2 p.m.
General admission tickets are $5 for adult and $3 for students. (April 11 is “Pay what you can night.”) All show tickets can be purchased at the door on the day of the event.
“Far Fetched Fairytales” is a collection of stories including Jack and the Beanstalk and the Emperor’s New Clothes and non-traditional stories like The Care and Feeding of a Dragon, The Stage Troll, and Happily Ever After. Add a wandering band of merry men, wacky royals, a pot of spaghetti, a dragon, magic beans, and inventive incantations and … you have an evening of fun and laughter.
Adding to the fun, the Whitewater Middle School PTO will be hosting a Fairytale Ball Tea Party on Saturday, April 13, at 12:30-1:30. Join the cast, on stage, for a very special sit-down tea party including sweets and treats as our guests meet and greet some of the characters. Fun photo ops and activities. The cost is $5 per person. Call 262-472-8178 for details. Reservations are required by April 8th.
