Young Jane Eyre

Dakota Stage Ltd. and Shade Tree Players are proud to present Young Jane Eyre as the next show of its summer season. Though an orphan, Jane Eyre is a spirited girl who loves learning and is determined to make her way in the world. At the age of 10, she finds herself sent away from her uncaring aunt?s home and thrust into the strange and harsh world of Lowood School. There Jane is confronted with meager living conditions: little food, somber clothing, and strict rules. At first, she only finds joy in school books, but then she comes to know a kind teacher, Miss Temple, and a gentle classmate, Helen. It is through these companions that young Jane Eyre?s life is enriched. Many joys are discovered in her friendships. But above all, Jane learns to cherish life and look without fear towards her future. Starring area children from 7-18 years of age, many appearing on the STP stage for the first time, this production is certain to be a fun filled, family event.  Young Jane Eyre runs from June 26-29 at the Frances Leach High Prairie Arts & Science Complex located at 1810 Schafer St., Bismarck.  Performances are at 7pm Thursday-Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children and can be purchased at the door before each show.  For additional information visit www.shadetreeplayers.com or call 701-258-4998.
