<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white">This charmingly upbeat play has been reimagined by local writer, producer, and Emmy Award winner Robert Thomas Noll. The Rat Commander leads his troops into Hamelin with a mission to scare the
people witless and eat every scrap of food there is. The invasion is so terrifically successful that the citizens are soon desperate. Suddenly, a Pied Piper arrives, promising a solution. The Mayor agrees to his price, but when the time comes to pay the Piper,
he refuses. This time, the children of the town follow the piper’s tune.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white">With a cast of 65 Beck Center students ages 6 to 19, this family-friendly production is directed by Russ Stich. "This is a fun script with lots of opportunities for comedic surprises,” commented
Stich. “With a cast of 65, you can expect plenty of mischief and mayhem from the rats as they bring chaos into the lives of the citizens of Hamelin."<o:p></o:p></p>
