Evergreen Children’s Theatre Presents “Interrupting Vanessa” at TAP

Evergreen Children’s Theatre will return to Third Avenue Playhouse with a family play as delightful and thought provoking for adults as it is for children. One performance of Interrupting Vanessa will be held on Feb. 26 at 2 pm.

Vanessa, the play’s heroine, is one of life’s odd ducks. She doesn’t have friends, her mother is busy and, hardest of all, her father has recently died. Troubled by her daughter’s isolation, Vanessa’s mother arranges a play date with Timmy Fibbins, the only classmate Vanessa has mentioned by name. When she announces Timmy’s imminent arrival, Vanessa is horrified. She only knows Timmy as the kid who has thrown up 17 times in school and she wants nothing to do with him. But Timmy surprises her.

Evergreen Children’s Theatre (formerly Next Door Theatre) has brought their touring productions to TAP for the last five years. As with Interrupting Vanessa, the troupe focuses on plays that utilize humor to teach important lessons about life. This play is most appropriate for ages 8 and above.

Tickets for Interrupting Vanessa are $8 for adults and $6 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the theatre box office at 239 N. Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay, over the phone at 920.743.1760, or by visiting http://www.ThirdAvenuePlayhouse.com. Tickets are also available at Dancing Bear, 13 N. Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay.
