11/15/2007: "Children’s Theatre Production November 16 & 17"

The jazz fly buzzes, an angel food cake dazzles and a nature hike jaunts, in the San Juan Community Children’s Theatre’s first stand-alone play, The Jazz Fly and the Angel Food Cake presented on November 16 and 17.

Thirty-five young elementary school age actors and the island’s Teddy Deane Jazz Quartet star in this charming play adapted by local storyteller Tifni Twitchell Lynch from a combination of children’s stories: The Jazz Fly by Mathew Gollub, The High Rise Glorious Skittle Skat Roarious Sky Pie Angel Food Cake by Nancy Willard and Henry Takes a Hike to Fitchburg by D.B. Johnson.

The play brings three worlds together in a fantasy that includes angels, animals, a magical angel food cake and a jazzy fly. The story’s theme centers on appreciating our surroundings, whether it be family, nature or music. “It’s slowing down and enjoying the moments, something we don’t get to do too often these days,” said Twitchell Lynch.




Parents and other adult volunteers have worked to design a colorful set, creative costumes and makeup that will bring audiences of all ages into a world where music, family, friends and nature come together.

The Jazz Fly and the Angel Food Cake is sponsored by Rocky Bay Cafe. Curtain time is 7:00 pm on Friday, November 16 and 2 pm on Saturday, November 17. Tickets are $12 for adults; $6 for student reserved. $5 student RUSH tickets are available at the door.
