TMU to Produce ‘Tuck Everlasting’ This Semester

The Theatre Arts program at The Master’s University has another exciting production waiting behind the curtain. This spring, students will stage a musical based on the bestselling children’s novel “Tuck Everlasting.” Originally written by author and illustrator Natalie Babbit, it tells the story of an 11-year-old girl who longs for adventure. She finds more than she bargained for when she winds up with a family that has found the secret to eternal youth. But along the way, she learns that being young forever isn’t all it’s cut out to be.

Tricia Hulet, director of TMU Theatre Arts, said the production has a cast and crew of 43 students. She added that audiences can expect to see elaborate sets, singing, and choreography. “The themes are fun. There’s adventure. There’s danger,” Hulet said, “but beyond and underneath that, there are great themes of evaluating what really is the importance of life.”

Shows will take place from April 5-13. Tickets can be purchased at masters.edu/theatre.
