The Pittsfield Players’ Kid’s Theater Workshop will present G2K State Fair, an adaptation of Rodgers and Hammersteins’ musical State Fair for younger performers, in three performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 23, 24, and 25 at 7:30 pm each evening. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for kids under the age of 13, and are now available on the Players’ website www.pittsfieldplayers.com, or by calling 435-8852.

 

The show will also run two afternoon shows, on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 21 and 22, for local schools and home schoolers. Special reservations are required for those shows by calling 736-9563. The Kid’s Theater Workshop is a program open to kids from ages 8 to 18, designed to introduce theater arts to both the participants and their peers who come to see the show.

 

G2K State Fair tells the story of the Frake family of Brunswick, Iowa, and their trip to the Iowa State Fair in the summer of 1946. Father Abel Frake is showing his prize boar, Big Boy, and he’s confident that the hog will win the Grand Sweepstakes. His wife, Melissa, is working on her pickles and mincemeat, hoping for a blue ribbon this year. Son Wayne is anxious to get even with the Hoopla Barker at the ring toss booth, who made fun of him last year, and Wayne has practiced his toss in the hopes of showing the barker up. Daughter Margy is facing a big decision whether to marry her long time beau Harry, and, while everyone expects her to marry him, she’s not too sure. At the fair, these four Frake family members meet many new folks, find romance, successes and trials, and have a great time at the fair.

 

The Players first produced an adult version of State Fair in the fall or 2003, and director Maye Hart is pleased to be directing this show again. "It’s one of my favorites," said Maye, "with great music and lots of comedy and it’s a great opportunity for the kids to expand their acting, singing and dancing skills." She is determined to recreate the set and the lighting and sound from the 2003 production, except this time the kids will be doing all the artwork, painting and running the lights and the sound, with a little help from the Moms and Dads who help to build the set and try to keep the paint spills to a minimum. "The kids really get into the painting," said Maye, "and there’s always lots of paint flying around the stage during set calls. It’s definitely a time for old clothes!"

 

To make a reservation for the show, visit the Players’ website at www.pittsfieldplayers.com, or call 435-8852. This show will sell out fast, so be sure not to miss out. Next week we’ll talk more about the Iowa State Fair and the kids who are in this terrific show, so stay tuned.
