WASSAIC, NY – Webutuck Central School District and The Wassaic Project are proud to present their 2017 spring production, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved classic, the play tells the tale of a clever fox who outwits his villainous neighboring farmers time and again to keep his family and digger friends fed.
The school is working in conjunction with the Wassaic Project to create sets, props, costumes, original music, lighting design and overall direction. Jill Winsby-Fein, Wassaic Project Teaching Artist and Amenia Performing Arts instructor, is directing the production and is assisted my Katie Hollis and Sarah Krokey, both teachers at the Webutuck Central School District. The production will feature approximately 40 Webutuck students onstage and behind-the-scenes from grades 4th-12th.
The play will be held at Webutuck High School (194 Haight Rd, Amenia, NY 12501) on Friday, March 10 and Saturday, March 11 at 7pm. The show will run approximately two hours with a brief intermission between acts. Tickets can be purchased in advance for adults ($8) and youth ($3, ages 5-18).
