Cranbrook Community Theatre wants to enchant you this spring
As winter drags on do you ever feel the need to escape, to feel some sunshine on your face, to have the opportunity to change, to start fresh?
What if things were really bad? What if war, disease and the uncertainties of home and hearth were becoming too much to bear? Then would you jump at the chance to recharge, even if it meant some small deceits and the emptying of the piggy bank?
Welcome to London in 1922. The Spanish flu and the war have just ended and the only thing that is in abundance are widows. And rain. And cold. And more rain.
And welcome to the world of Charlotte Wilton. Only Charlotte, Lotty to her friends, may have found a way out, the way to sunshine and wisteria and the opportunity to regroup and rejuvenate. Lotty can only accomplish this by scooping up a group of kindred souls and, against their better judgment, they too see the need for warmth, change and refreshment.
Welcome now to Enchanted April, a play written by Matthew Barber from the novel by Elizabeth Von Arnim that tells this story and takes us all on a trip of true enchantment.
Proudly presented by Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT), this play is directed by Terry Miller, who has gathered some of the most talented people in our community both on stage and backstage to make sure this journey will be a pleasure to all.
Opening April 12, Enchanted April will run every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday until April 27. You will have ten chances to see this grand show at 8 p.m. at the Studio/Stage Door. Tickets are available at Lotus Books.
CCT has been entertaining Cranbrook and area audiences for over 50 years. We strive to promote and develop local talent; on stage, behind the scenes, or in the director’s chair. CCT believes theatre, music, dance, and art play an important part in the community. We are pleased to call the Studio/Stage Door home.
