GREENVILLE — The Family Fare series will present ECU Storybook Theatre’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” Friday night in Wright Auditorium on the university campus.
The performance brings to life Roald Dahl’s classic tale of three farmers, Mr. Fox and his friends.
The tale concerns the adventures of three nasty farmers, two curious creatures and a family of foxes. Watch Boggis (the chicken farmer), Bunce (the duck-and-goose farmer) and Bean (the turkey-and-apple farmer) attempt to foil the efforts of Mr. Fox and his friends — the Badgers, the Moles, the Rabbits and the Weasels. When the animals unwittingly trap themselves in Bean’s Secret Cider Cellar, are they doomed?
This performance, plus presentations through Arts Smart for Pitt County elementary school students Friday morning, will help introduce children to the theatre.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for youth. For more information or advanced tickets, call the Central Ticket Office, Mendenhall Student Center, at 252-328-4788 or visit www.ecu.edu/familyfare.
