A Staged Reading of 'The Would-Be King of Castalon' by David L. Fisher
You're invited to spend Sunday afternoon with us for a FREE staged reading of a very clever dark comedy by Atlanta playwright, David L. Fisher. "The Would-Be King of Castalon" is an exciting new full-length play that introduces us to Stan Nash, an accomplished and well-trained actor, who is, by nature, a shy and timid man until his participation in an experimental drug trial changes him in unexpected ways. Here's your opportunity to become one of Atlanta's theatre insiders and actually contribute to the process of developing a new play.
Saturday, June 14 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM - HAPEVILLE DEPOT PLAZA

H2-Oh! Splish, Splash: Water Stories, which explores our most precious resource in a fun and educational way!

Academy favorites Nancy Riggs & Kiera Robbins bring great puppetry and stories for kids to the Hapeville Performing Arts Center with their world premiere show!
