INCIDENT AT VICHY is a 1964 play by American dramatist Arthur Miller about a group of men detained in Vichy France and held to wait unknowingly, for what turns out to be their “racial” inspection by German military officers and Vichy French police during World War II.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME Runs June 25-29

TREE_Hunchback logoTHE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
Tree County Players
June 25-29
[Greensburg, Ind.]

Directed by Tyler Wachsmann & Megan Gehrich

Cast: Kegan Main as Quasimodo, Hannah Giesting as Esmerelda, Tyler Coy as Clopin, Drew Soendlin as Phoebus, Ben Abrams as Jehan, Adam Mack as St. Aphrodisius, Tyler Wachsmann as Frollo, Shayleigh Berkheimer as Florika, Gena Mack as Madam, Dylan Powers as Dupin/Official/Frederick & Ben Abrams as King Louie

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces storytheatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the gypsies – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
