Tchaikovsky's

"Peter and the Wolf" is one of the most beloved

pieces of classical music in history.

Each

character has his or her own individual amusic and the

piece has enjoyed success as an animated short as well as

a ballet. Now, Fayette Community Theatre Inc. will

present "Peter and the Wolf" as a children's

play.

It's the

story of a boy who hunts a wolf with the help of his

animal friends. The play is written by Sheila Smolenski

and features many children who have acted with FCT in the

past. The children, ages ranging from 7-15, have been

rehearsing since the beginning of the summer and are

having a good time so far. The play will be presented as

part of the Summer Reading Programs at the Peachtree City

Library, the Fayette County Public Library and the Tyrone

Library.

The

production is part of FCT's Student Director Intern

Program. Recent Starr's Mill High School graduate Aron

Hall is the first participant. The prgram is open to high

school seniors or college degree candidates who are

aspiring to a career in theater arts. Hall is headed to

the Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City this fall

and has proven his theater mettle in Fayette County.

Hall was

involved in several productions while at Starr's Mill,

including "Oklahoma," "Crazy For

You," and "The Elephant Man." He also was

an intern for the Starr's Mill Intro to Drama class,

under Stuart Fail. On top of his school activities, Hall

was a member of the sketch comedy troop Creatures of

Habit and did several productions with the House Red

Theatre Company, including the recent "Farmer-Butz

Wedding."
