Young players prepare for KMLT production
By EMILY WEAVER
Editor
A few dozen children took the stage inside Joy Theatre
Thursday night in their first run-through rehearsal of “Char-
lotte’s Web” which premiers Nov. 6.
They have spent the past few weeks practicing lines and
memorizing stage positions for the upcoming play. Al-
though last Thursday night was their first official rehearsal,
the young actors and actresses delivered most of their lines
with ease.
Kings Mountain Little Theatre Director Susan Cham-
pion coached them through the practice, while Wendy
Walega, another KMLT veteran, sorted the costumes.
KMLT will offer special matinee showings of the play
for local school children at the theatre. Walega said that
they had scheduled three school field trip matinees and all
three have already been sold out.
She added that they have enough interest for a fourth
show, but pulling the young actors out of school to accom-
modate may not be possible.
However, families with children, who may not be able
to take a field trip to Charlotte’s and Wilbur’s enchanting
farm, are encouraged to attend one of the several open pro-
ductions through the play’s run at the Joy. We’ve kept our
ticket prices low to encourage them to attend, Walega said.
Shows will be offered Friday and Saturday nights be-
ginning at 7 p.m. Nov. 6-7 and 13-14 and on Sunday after-
noons Nov. 8 and 15.
All are welcome to attend the open showings and to see
the special talent these young actors and actresses possess.
