Your

mission, should you choose to accept it, is this: You and

your fellow campers will put on a play in two weeks.

You will

audition for roles, learn your lines and rehearse, design

the sets and costumes, learn the choreography and put on

the production.

Sound like

a daunting task? It is. Especially when the cast and crew

is made up of children 4-14. The campers are enrolled in

Drama Production Camp, put on by A Company of Friends

theatrical group and the Fayette County Community

Schools.

The camp

began June 12 and the production of the play, "The

Legend of Pocahontas," will be presented this

Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25. Though the story of

Pocahontas is well-known, the campers put their own spin

on the tale. Many Native American legends are included in

the production, making this performance of Pocahontas

different than any other.

"The

Legend of Pocahontas" is the story of an Indian girl

who falls in love with English explorer John Smith. The

tale has been told many times, most recently in an

animated Disney musical. The camp's production features

four beautiful songs, colorful costumes and Indian lore.

The play is suitable for all ages and runs approximately

40 minutes.

"The

Legend of Pocahontas" will be presented at 2:30 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, June 24 and 25 at Sams Auditorium in

Fayetteville. The doors will open at 2 p.m. Phone

770-251-7611.

Princess

Pocahontas will be played by Casey McConnell, while

Captain John Smith will be played by Matthew Perello. The

show was adapted and written by Tammy Barton and Gayann

Truelove. The music and lyrics were written by Scott

DeTurk.
