A Wrinkle In Time is the latest production by Prime Stage Theatre.
Prime Stage celebrates the 60th anniversary of “A Wrinkle in Time” with its adaptation of the novel. Performances run March 4-13.
“With our season slogan, ‘Beyond the Imagination,’ this production takes you on a journey through space reflecting light and dark, good and evil, along with growth and inspiration,” said Wayne Brinda, Prime Stage Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director.
Sunny Disney Fitchett is the director of this adventure that blends science fiction with family themes and spiritual growth reimagined.
“The plot of the story is about a girl’s journey through the wrinkles of time and space,” said Fitchett. “Although the journey that launches Meg through the universe is compelling, it is her journey of authentic self-discovery that I find most courageous and heroic.”
Fitchett added that those who guide and protect the children throughout their rescue mission must certainly be three of the strongest, wisest, boldest, quirkiest and most forthright characters ever written.
“I keep wishing one of these marvelous guardian angels would tumble into my life,” she said.
“A Wrinkle in Time” was first published in 1962 and received the Newbery Award. The story has endured finding new readers in each generation. Madeleine L’Engle loved the theater as an actress and writer. Prime Stage is excited to engage audiences when bringing her characters and story to life by blending theatre and dance to create the fantastical journeys.
“Our production is a unique look at how to bring sci-fi to the stage without major technology. Prime Stage is branching out in ways we haven’t before by using dance and puppetry. I am beyond excited to share the heart of this story in a way it hasn’t been told before,” said Tina Marie Cerny, Managing Director.
The cast includes Chelsea Bartel (Aunt Beast), Colin Bozick (Charles Wallace Murry), Piper Bozick (Meg Murry), John Dolphin (Mr. Murry), Jayden Greening (Calvin O’Keefe), Heather Irwin (Mrs. Murry), Ponny Conomos Jahn (Mrs. Which), Mary Meyer (Mrs. Whatsit) and Joyce Miller (Mrs. Who/Ensemble).
