By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - The children's classic Stuart Little will be performed Nov. 13, by the Lindsey Wilson College Theatre Program. The performance, which is free and open to the public , will be given at 7pmCT on Thursday, November 13, 2014, in V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY. The LWC production is an adaptation of the children's novel written by New Yorker writer E.B. White. It tells the adventures of a mouse, Stuart, who grows up as a member of a human family living in New York City family. It's been one of the more beloved children's stories since the novel was published in 1945. The LWC production is faithful to the White novel, according to Assistant Professor of Theatre Robert Brock, who is the play's director. "It follows the novel pretty much exactly," Brock said. "This adaptation has been around a long time, and it is really good." The LWC production will be presented in the form of storytelling theater; many of the actors play several roles and there is a sparse set. "We have a box of props on stage, so the actors will pull out props and costume pieces and transform into whatever is needed as the story moves along at a very brisk pace," Brock said. Brock said storytelling theater is one of his favorite art forms. "It's closest to the earliest spirit of theater," he said. "It's mainly up to the actors -- you don't depend on sets and lighting to do stuff for you. It's what the actor brings to the audience that matters." Brock said Stuart Little is an enduring story because of a message that continues to resonate with children. "It's about a little character that takes off into the world to try his hand at everything, and I think that's a good thing for kids to think about -- to explore, discover, get out and see what might be out there," he said. And Brock said children make for some of the best audience members. "Children are the best audience there is," said Brock, who has worked in children's theater throughout his more than 30-year career. "Children don't hold back -- they really respond if you bring the story to them." The Lindsey Wilson College Theatre Program will present Stuart Little at 7pmCT November 13 at V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson St. For more information, contact Robert Brock at brockr@lindsey.edu or 270-590-4803. This story was posted on 2014-11-08 10:53:19
