The Washington Little Theater's Summer Drama Camp culminates June 2 and 4 with performances of "101 Dalmatians" and "Don't Say 'Macbeth'."

The double bill will be presented at the Playhouse at 313-C. N. Alexander Ave. on Friday, June 2, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 4, at 2 p.m. All seats are $4 and can be purchased at the door.

The productions star 41 students from Washington, Lincolnton, Rayle, Tignall, Dearing, and Thomson. These students have participated in Drama Camp activities, including choreography, improvisation, dialects, costuming, and more.

The camp is being directed by Nora Dukes and Libby Foster, with Joseph Baldwin, Hailey James, Sarah Herring, April Shelton, and Hannah Sifre assisting with the children's camp and Teresa Davis serving as the costume mistress.

"101 Dalmatians" stars Payton Burriss, Jonathan Davidson, Brendan Dukes, Katherine Dukes, Sydni Edwards, Cecilia Eligio, Abby Foster, Anna Claire Gunter, Ethan Jones, Camille Lewis, D.J. Martin, Megan Miller, Presley Partridge, Sadie Partridge, Bobbie Peacock, Will Price, Ryan Pritchett, Jennifer Rice, Marisa Sifre, Marlyse Sifre, Leslie Souther, and Tabatha Welch.

The story begins in a loving home in the city of London where Dalmatian parents, Pongo and Perdita, are happily rearing their Dalmatian puppies. All is well until the monstrous Cruella De Vil plots to steal the brood for her new fur coat!

Theater-goers are encouraged to join all the dogs of London as they daringly rescue the puppies from Cruella and her bumbling henchmen. The score is delightful, the characters are lovable, and the villain is deliciously evil!

"Don't Say 'Macbeth'" stars Mary Clark, Emma Collins, Donna Coursey, Jacob Davis, Catie Greer, Brian Herring, Sarah Herring, Whitley Hodges, Hailey James, Yareli Lopez, Kristin Lukich, Emily McNure, Leah Powers, April Shelton, Hannah Sifre, Kevin Starbuck, Megan Starbuck, Meghan Sutton, and Amanda Wood.

The storyline centers around a poor student who is struggling to read Shakespeare's great tragedy, "Macbeth," while in a coffee shop next door to a theater. The student gets a study boost from the waitress, who was an English major, and four customers, who are actors, as they act out the Scottish tragedy in a fast-paced farce. Soon, a pompous actor, who has just finished a Shakespeare matinee next door, enters and tells of the "Scottish curse" and all of the unfortunate events that have surrounded past productions of the play.

The actors portray characters throughout history including Shakespeare, King James, Abraham Lincoln, Orson Welles, and Charlton Heston. This is a wild and wacky way to enjoy both the story and the curse of the Scottish tragedy.

The community is urged to come out and support area young people while enjoying two wonderful plays.
