Oh Sweet Goats and Little Tales

The Youth Theatre Company announces its upcoming production of “Oh Sweet Goats and Little Tales,” a tribute to great storytelling, through song, dance and, you guessed it, great stories.
 
Performances will be held at the Plymouth Arts Center, Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13 at 7:30pm, and Sunday, May 14 at 2:30pm.  General admission tickets will be available for $10 each at the Plymouth Arts Center, 520 East Mill Street, Plymouth, Wisconsin or call 920-892-8409 or order online through the Plymouth Arts Center website: www.plymoutharts.org
 
Everything from “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” to the “The Tortoise and the Hare” and much more in between.  We’ll tell some classic Aesop’s Fables, some Appalachian Folk Tales complete with rollicking bluegrass songs, and a few “way out there” stories you’ve never even heard of!
 
Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?  Presented by a diverse cast of past Youth Theatre Company performers as well as many new talented young people, under the direction of Patty and Tim Talen,  the show is designed for the entire family, young and old alike.
 
Ranging in age from “seasoned” performers to kids in the single digits, this show has something for everybody!
 
Featured adult actors include Keith Abler, Herb Stoltenberg, Pat Connors-Scherer, Jessica Ford, Sarah Grebe, Andrea Gutschow, Sarah Jarr, Joe Juknialis, Jennifer Kiekhoefer, Carter Kryzaniak, Jim Nass, Scott Overby, Lara Schmitz, Tim Talen, Bob Travis and Hannah Wisman.  Young actors include Cole Anhalt, Lily Grebe, Belle and Breeley Gutschow, Evelyn Nass, Johnathan Riley, Sage Rooker and Emma, Ava and Will Versch.
 
Featured local musicians will be members of the Plymouth based Honey Goats bluegrass band including Court Ramaeker and David Koebel along with fellow support from YTC actor/musicians Keith Abler and Tim Talen.
 
The show will be a fundraiser for the PAC in celebration of the Plymouth Arts Center’s 30^th Anniversary!  This performance will also mark the 35^th Anniversary of the Youth Theatre Company in Sheboygan County!  Lots to celebrate, that’s for sure. Not to mention, the show will be performed on Mother’s Day Weekend, a fact not to be overlooked by the writers and directors of “Oh Sweet Goats!”  Why not surprise your mother with the gift of live local theatre!
