The Pied Piper of Hamelin at Lawrence Arts Center

A new musical written and directed by Ric Averill with original music by Adrian Rees

This delightful youth theater production will explore the legend of the Piper who wasn’t paid to expel the rats of the town and, in revenge, lured the city’s children from their parents (some say to settle new lands to the East.) Besides the Piper and a rather wicked Mayor of Hamelin, the play will feature townspeople, children and, of course, quite a few rats. There will be roles for more than 40 youth singing, dancing and acting in this world premiere!
