‘Pillow Play’ to create comfy theater for kids

The Hadley Memorial Fund, now in its 52nd season,  will present “Pillow Play” a Wilmington Drama League performance on Saturday, March 14, at 2 p.m. at Kennett Friends Meeting, 125 W. Sickle St. in Kennett Square.

The Chrysalis Players’ Pillow Plays series brings great theatre to our youngest audience, ages 10 and under. Pillow Plays has become a local phenomenon as these short plays have been taken to local libraries and schools, including the Newark Free Library, Woodlawn Library, the Mary Campbell Center – and now the Hadley Memorial Fund. Children should  bring a pillow to sit on.

The focus of the Pillow Play is on drama and theater education through the Chrysalis Players, the children’s and youth acting classes at the Wilmington Drama League. In the desert of an electronic age, live theatre strives to offer an oasis of “face-to-face” communication.

The class, called “Doorway to Drama for Ages 7-15” offers theatre fun and instruction for young people of all experience levels. Each session includes (but is not limited to ) audition skills, improvisation concepts, diction, projection and character development, and each ends with a free performance for friends and family. These students will comprise the cast for Saturday's play.

All Hadley Memorial Fund events are free and open to the public. Kennett Friends Meeting is handicapped accessible. For more information, call 610-444-1855 or visit www.HadleyFund.org.
