Hi-ya-ya-hi-ya.  Listen to the tom-tom drums and the message spoken by the "Wordspinner" that opens and closes this charming adventure suitable for all age groups.  The name Pocahontas, belonging to the daughter of the powerful Algonquin Chief Powhatan, means "She-Who-Likes-To-Be-Mischievous."  It’s a fitting name, because she enjoys playing tricks and games, especially with Raccoon, Bat and Fox...  her playmates in the forest.  She also makes friends with the English settlers in the struggling community of Jamestown.  They have no food, and sickness has almost wiped them out.  Pocahontas would like to help them, but Thundercloud, the medicine man, forbids it.  When Captain John Smith, the leader of Jamestown, comes to the Indian village, he is condemned to death.  In a thrilling scene, Pocahontas saves his life and finds a way for the Indians and the settlers to live in harmony and friendship. 

The Children’s Theater in Wilkes is a joint venture of Wilkes County High School Theatre Department; KIWANIS/The Terrific Kids program and Wilkes Community Partnership for Children, a local Smart Start agency. Concessions will be available. There will also be a meet and greet with the cast for autographs and pictures held after each show. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children is a United Way partner agency.
