‘Hansel and Gretel Revisited’ musical set at Anna Arts Center
The Shawnee Hills Arts Council’s Anna Arts Center is planning to present the musical “Hansel and Gretel Revisited.”
The arts council shares that “Hansel and Gretel Revisited,” written by Macky Cohen, “has a wicked twist that you do not want to miss. Do Hansel and Gretel survive their meeting with the witch? Does the witch survive? Is there a super hero that saves the children?”
Performances are scheduled at the Anna Arts Center at 125 W. Davie St. in Anna.
Performance dates and times include Friday, Nov. 11, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m.; and a matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
Tickets are $15 and for 12 and under $5. Ticket information is available by calling Lee Hackney at 1-904-625-1109 or by emailing Lee at vabchlee@gmail.com. Tickets will also be sold at the door.
