During the heat of last summer, for instance, the Growing Stage of- fered Mother Hicks by Suzan Zeder, a Depression era look at a Midwest- ern woman, thought to be a witch by locals, who befriends some orphaned children. The Growing Stage re- ceived a special projects grant from the New Jersey Council for the Arts to produce the play. One of Mr. Fredericks’ favorite productions, in fact, is an original work called Arkansas Bear by Aurand Harris, which features a young girl whose grandfather is dying. The girl is used to taking long walks in the woods with her grand- father and one day is walking alone when she meets a bear that has been turned out of the circus. Together the two learn a lot about passing on knowledge to younger generations. “We get a wonderful reaction to that play every time we do it,” Mr. Fredericks commented. The com- pany has performed the play during three different seasons. For the 1999-2000 season, the Growing Stage will present James & The Giant Peach, The Story of the Nutcracker, Really Rosie and Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. During the summer there will be a performance of Tuck Everlasting, based on a book by Natalie Babbitt about a 10-year-old girl who has to make some very grown-up deci- sions when she and her family move to a land that contains a magical fountain-of-youth well. James & The Giant Peach will begin on Friday, October 1, and run through Sunday, October 24. The theater company features a combination of equity and commu- nity actors and following every per- formance the actors are available for a question and answer and autographing session with the audi- ence. In addition to the “Mainstage” company featuring the season of plays, the Growing Stage also offers a touring company that visits schools throughout the state to put on origi- nal productions.
