The Northeast State Community College Department of Theater continues to keep theatre arts alive with the upcoming livestream production of Wiley and the Hairy Man by Susan Zeder.
Northeast State Theatre revs up the creative engine of production with this play produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Ill. The play will be performed in the style of “Paper Theatre.” Sometimes called Toy Theatre or Model Theatre, this whimsical production style traces its roots back to Europe in the 1800’s. Virtual streaming performance dates are April 22 through April 26. Check the Theatre web page for livestream availability at the theatre web page: https://www.northeaststate.edu/Theatre.
This drama tells the spine-tingling tale of a boy and his worst fears lurking in a swamp. —eventually overcome by Wiley himself. Set deep within the mysterious Tombigbee Swamp, Wiley and the Hairy Man centers around a young fatherless boy, his conjure-woman mother, his faithful dog, and the Hairy Man 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 survival, the magic of the earth and the mud of the swamp. In an exciting duel of wits, Wiley learns to rely upon his own resources and conquers two villains: the Hairy Man and his own fear.
The audience will be able to stream the show where they will listen to the actors while watching the story come to life in an imaginative and creative way that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Tickets to the live stream are FREE but patrons must reserve a viewing time. The play delivers a warm, imaginative story for the entire family. The play is being directed by Northeast State’s Brad W. McKenzie.
