Action-Packed Fantastic Mr. Fox Closes the Season at Spartanburg Youth Theatre
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Thirty-six youngsters team up to tell Roald Dahl’s classic adventure tale Fantastic Mr. Fox, adapted for the stage by David Wood, in the fourth and final production of the Spartanburg Youth Theatre’s 2014-2015 season on Friday, April 17, at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and Saturday, April, 18 at 2 p.m.
The story follows the hero, cunning Mr. Fox, who steals food for his family from three mean farmers, Bunce, Boggis and Bean – and what happens when the farmers decide to take their revenge. “Fantastic Mr. Fox is just a whole lot of fun,” SYT managing director Deana Neibert said. She also directs the show. “It’s interactive and exciting, and it teaches kids the importance of teamwork and the joy of sharing with others.”
