Knoxville Children\u2019s Theatre will present the classic comedy\u00a0The Wind In The Willows<\/em>, featuring a new stage adaptation by Zack Allen of the classic novel by Kenneth Grahame. The play will be performed August 14 \u2013 30, Thursdays and Fridays at 7 PM; Saturdays at 1 PM and 5 PM; Sundays at 3 PM.<\/p>\n

The Wind In The Willows<\/em>\u00a0is one of the best-loved children\u2019s books of all time. In 2003, the BBC listed the novel as the 16th best children\u2019s book of all time.<\/p>\n

All the animals in The Wild Wood are concerned about Mr. Toad, whose passion for fast motorcars is quickly damaging his wallet and reputation. Toad\u2019s devoted friends, Mr. Rat and Mr. Badger, pledge to rescue the poor fellow from his own foolish actions before he can go bankrupt or worse. Toad\u2019s newest friend, the intelligent but shy Miss Mole, comes up with a plan that not only saves Toad but his grand mansion as well.<\/p>\n

The play is performed by 10 talented young actors, from ages 10 to 14. The role of Mr. Toad will be played by KCT veteran Brock Mullins, who attends 7th grade at Christian Academy of Knoxville. Brock was recently seen in KCT\u2019s The Hobbit. Mr. Rat is played by Cody Chaffins, who attends 8th grade at First Baptist Academy. Cian Bell, a 9th-grader, plays Mr. Badger, and Emma Stark, a 5th-grader, plays Miss Mole.<\/p>\n

Three actors are making their KCT debut: Ella Brush, Gabe Cormany. And Mary Helen Schow. The rest of the cast includes KCT veteran performers: AbiGrace Kimsey, Celeste Paultre, and Quintin Rhodes.<\/p>\n
