The Theater Bug presents:
The Barefoot Children in the City of Ward
The Theater Bug is proud to present 'The Barefoot Children in the City of Ward,” an original play by Cori Anne Laemmel. This production will run February 1 - 4, Thursday - Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m.; February 8 - 11, Thursday - Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m.; and February 15 - 16 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for children and $10 for adults online, or $7 for children and $12 for adults at the door.
This show will be presented in partnership with Gilda's Club, a Middle Tennessee nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, education, and hope to all people impacted by cancer, including family members and friends of those diagnosed. Partial proceeds will go toward supporting Gilda's Club and their mission. The script was created with support from Gilda's Club families who bravely shared their stories and helped educate The Theater Bug about how to best celebrate the children who have battled childhood cancer and educate their students, staff, and audiences about how best to advocate for this community.
The show will feature 65 actors between the ages of 5 and 18, and it includes original music by Bethany Bailey and Cori Anne Laemmel. The Theater Bug is also thrilled to have Matt Logan from their partner organization, Studio Tenn, share his vision for set design, along with creative team MA2LA designing original art for projections.
