Hunchback of Notre Dame ~ For ages 12 to18.

Freely adapted from Victor Hugo's classic novel by Patrick Rainville Dorn

Location: Trinity Presbyterian Church
Instructor: Cindy Troup
Performs: February/March 2009 (3-4 performances)
Cost of Class: $300 (includes script fee)

The unforgettable characters from the beloved novel come to thrilling, laugh-happy life in this funny, and frill-free "festival" adaptation of Victor Hugo’s popular literary classic. Outside the great Notre Dame cathedral 50 years after the original story’s fateful events, a troupe of youthful players leads the rabble of Paris—and sometimes even the audience—in recreating the riotous adventures of the misshapen but tender-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo, beguiling gypsy dancer Esmeralda and her clever goat Djali, dashing Captain Phoebus, despicably devious Dom Frollo, romantic and starving poet Pierre, the down-to-earth gang-leading Queen of Thieves, comically bitter recluse Paquette, and more!

Performances are:
November 20th @ 7pm
November 21st @ 10 am & 7pm

Tom, the miller’s son, inherits his father’s cat. He expected to get the family mill. Unfortunately, that went to his bossy elder sister, Gabrielle. The cat, however, is no one’s fool. He (or she) promises that if Tom gets him a pair of boots he will make his fortune. Once he has the footwear and becomes Puss in Boots, the cat sets out on an amazing adventure. Puss meets the queen and the lovely Princess Pam, who Puss thinks will make a nice wife for his master. There is only one real obstacle to the cat’s brilliant scheming – The Great Ogre!
