PRINCETON – In honor of 20 years of children’s theater at the Prairie Arts Center, the Prairie Arts Council (PAC) proudly presents the third reprise of their very first children’s musical, “Tumbleweeds,” with director David Gorenz assisted by his wife, Shelley, and daughter Rachel Gorenz-Johnson. The second PAC feature of the show was on the 10th anniversary in 2008, which included many current students and recent graduates of Princeton High School, including Doran Cotter. Since 1998 when she portrayed Hildegard Hamhocker in “Tumbleweeds,” Rachel Gorenz-Johnson has been in numerous theatrical productions and has written a collection of children’s holiday and summer camp productions as well. David and Shelley, along with Rachel, have passionately continued to provide Bureau County children with opportunities to take the PAC stage in summer drama camps as well as holiday and special occasion productions such as this.
“Tumbleweeds” is based on a comic strip created by Tom K. Ryan and centers around the cowpoke title character who returns to the Wild West determined to improve his hometown of Grimy Gulch, population 49.
Tickets are $10 and can be reserved by calling PAC at (815) 875-2787 (ARTS).
Show Times are Thursday, April 26 and Friday, 27 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m.
The Prairie Arts Center is located at 24 Park Avenue East, Princeton.
