news-category: 蜜豆直播 蜜豆直播 Students Present One-Act Opera for Children By Office of University Communications On February 4, 2020 BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擜ctors, stage crew and musicians from the 蜜豆直播 University Departments of Theatre Arts and Music will present two weekends of 鈥淟ittle Red Riding Hood鈥擜 Children鈥檚 Opera In One Act鈥� by Seymour Barab. Hosted by the School of Performing and Visual Arts, the production is directed by Dr. Stafford Turner, associate professor of Music. Performances are open to the public and will be presented in the Millennium Playhouse, located behind the GWU Communications Studies Hall on Main Street in Boiling Springs. Dates and times are Feb. 21-22 at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 23 at 2:30 p.m., Feb. 28-29 at 7:30 p.m. and March 1 at 2:30 p.m. 鈥淭his children鈥檚 opera was composed to help introduce the genre to young audiences,鈥� Turner observed. 鈥淎lthough it is technically labeled an opera, it is far from what we typically think of when we imagine the great operas of history and is actually much more akin to a musical theatre show. Sung in English, it provides a clever and entertaining twist on the Brothers Grimm classic.鈥� In addition to the public performances, the GWU cast and crew will present the opera for local students in two private showings. The story is the same as the fairy tale, where Little Red Riding Hood goes through the woods to visit her sick grandmother but instead finds a hungry wolf. Because the opera has only three parts, there are two different casts to give more students an opportunity to participate. The cast members for Feb. 21, 23 and 29 are: Madeline Bame as Little Red Riding Hood, Cheyenne McCall as the mother and grandmother, and Chris Adams as the wolf and woodsman. Cast members for Feb. 22, 28 and March 1 are Deja Fields as Little Red Riding Hood, Kaitlin Craig as the mother and grandmother, and Marshall Townsend as the wolf and woodsman.
