YOUNG ACTORS PRESENT FAIRY TALES ON STAGE

A fairy-tale double feature will open Wednesday on the Barter Youth Stage in the Playhouse, with 10 a.m. performances Tuesday through Friday until Aug. 3.

"Rapunzel" and "Rumpelstiltskin" were the plays chosen by Youth Stage Director Christopher Armbrister as stories with which people are familiar. Each lasts about 20 minutes and includes audience participation.

Both have been adapted by Victor Armbrister and N. Sherie Douglas from "Grimm's Fairy Tales." Admission is $2 for children, $3 for adults, or the equivalent in produce bartered for admission. Reservations can be made by calling the box office at 628-3991 or toll-free (800) 572-2081.
