Wild Swan Theater Announces 2018-19 Season; JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, CHARLOTTE'S WEB, and More

Wild Swan Theater Co-Artistic Directors Hilary Cohen and Sandy Ryder announce the company's 39th season of performances. Nationally regarded as one of the finest theaters for young people in the country, Wild Swan produces artistic, accessible and affordable theater for families. The upcoming season will feature some of our favorites, including the classics A Honey Pot of Pooh Stories, A Christmas Carol, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Charlotte's Web, as well as the original and stirring drama Shipwrecked!, based on historical accounts of sailing in the Great Lakes in the late 1800's.

Running from October through May, the season contains seven productions carefully shaped for various ages and interests which are performed by a troupe of professional actors, dancers, musicians, and ASL performers. Wild Swan plays are known for innovative staging, music composed and performed live for each production, extraordinary puppets and masks, beautiful period costumes, and creative incorporation of movement and dance. Wild Swan Theater is also known for groundbreaking accessibility measures that make plays available to audience members who have auditory, visual or mobility impairments.

Patrons can purchase tickets online through the company's website at www.wildswantheater.org or by phone at (734) 995-0530. Tickets are on sale now! Discounted group rates are available to parties of 10 or more.

All performances take place at Towsley Auditorium in the Morris Lawrence Building on the campus of Washtenaw Community College.
