PWLT opens “ARCADIA” November 7th

Prince William Little Theatre (PWLT) presents Tom Stoppard’s acclaimed British work “Arcadia” on Saturday, November 7 in Manassas.
Fresh off a spectacular run at Washington DC’s Folger Theatre, “Arcadia” is directed by Carl Brandt Long and produced by Dave Warner. The show will be performed at Round Elementary, 10100 Hastings Drive, Manassas. November 7,13,14,20,21 at 8 PM (Fridays and Saturdays) and Sundays November 8,15,22 at 2 PM. The show is considered “PG-13” with some strong language and mature situations.
Arcadia is set in an English country house, in the beginning of the 19th century and in the present day, juxtaposing the activities of two modern scholars and the house’s current residents with the lives of those who lived there two centuries earlier. In 1809, Thomasina Coverly, is a precocious teenager with ideas about mathematics well ahead of her time. She studies with her tutor, Septimus Hodge, a friend of Lord Byron. In 2009 a writer and an academic converge on the house. As their investigations unfold, the truth about what happened in 1809 is gradually revealed.
The show stars local actors Tegan Cohen, William MacLeod, Sara Joy Lebowitz, George Kitchen, Jack Seaver, Michael S. Sandoval. Elizabeth Heir, Charlotte Guthery, Daniel Kitchen, Michael Divers, Michael Feidt, Jr., and Richard Yingling. The show is stage managed by Michael Clark, and costumes by Sevinc Bailey.
