The Hunchback of Notre Dame provides "a fast-paced, fun-filled opportunity for everyone to become engaged in a literary masterpiece with imagination, ingenuity and lots of laughter! Outside the great Notre Dame cathedral 50 years after the original story’s fateful events, a troupe of youthful players leads the rabble of Paris — and sometimes even the audience — in recreating the riotous adventures of the misshapen but tender-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo. Of course, the story wouldn’t be complete without the beguiling gypsy dancer Esmeralda and her clever goat Djali, dashing Captain Phoebus, despicably devious Dom Frollo, romantic and starving poet Pierre, the down-to-earth gang-leading Queen of Thieves, comically bitter recluse Paquette, and more!"

Tickets are Senior/Students $12, Adults $15 & children $10 (10 under). They are available for purchase anytime on our website www.littlefolkstheatre.com.
Little Folks Theatre is the brain child of Glorimar Vargas, a person with a life-long passion for the performing arts and the joy it brings to those involved. It was this passion that inspired a workshop as an after school program for Dighton children, which cumulated in a holiday performance of "The Night before Christmas" in December of 2002.
Since that date and over 12 productions large and small, Little Folks Theatre, a teaching theater, has become a well known company exposing young minds and those minds young at heart, to the thrill of live performances. This has instilled self confidence, poise and knowledge in all of those who have participated and several "graduates" have gone on to starring roles in high school and other community theater productions.
