Averitt to stage The King and I
Performances Friday, Saturday and Sunday
W 072513 KING AND I 02
The King of Siam, portrayed by J.J. Crawford, right, dictates a letter intended for Abraham Lincoln to governess Anna (Nora Franklin) during a scene from the Averitt Center for the Arts production of "The King and I."
The Averitt Center for the Arts has one last summer offering before school begins for most children next week. This weekend, the Statesboro Youth Theater will present three performances of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I.” The performance will take the audience on a journey through the beautiful country of Siam (modern-day Thailand) while following the story of a brave woman named Anna. Anna, played by Statesboro’s own Nora Franklin, dreams of becoming a schoolteacher and wants desperately to enrich the minds of young children.
