An Endearing Classic By Lake County’s Most Talented Young Actors!

Stuart Little

Dramatized by Joseph Robinette

Based on the Book by E.B. White.

Directed By Deborah J. Carpenter

Timothy D. Turner, Educational Director & YPT Artistic Director

Production by Bay Street Players’ Young Peoples Theater (YPT) of Eustis, Florida

School Performances throughout March 2007

 

This is the endearing classic about a mouse named Stuart Little who is born into an ordinary New York family. Joseph Robinette, who also dramatized the highly acclaimed stage version of Charlotte’s Web, captures all the charm, wisdom and joy of the E.B. White original in this adaptation. The many adventures both big and small of Stuart Little are brought vividly to life in this story theatre presentation. The acting ensemble plays many human and animal roles in a series of delightful scenes that make up the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse trying to survive in a "real people's world."
