Synopsis

This is the endearing classic about a mouse named Stuart Little who is born into an ordinary New York family. All the charm, wisdom and joy of the E.B. White original are captured in this adaptation by Joseph Robinette, who also dramatized the highly acclaimed stage version of Charlotte's Web. The many adventures—both big and small—of Stuart Little are brought vividly to life in this story theatre presentation. The acting ensemble plays many human and animal roles in a series of delightful scenes that make up the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse trying to survive in a "real people's world." Ease of staging along with flexible casting make Stuart Little perfect for small touring groups or for large-cast productions.

Customer Reviews

Easy to stage with many small parts to double or use to introduce young, new actors. True to the story with good fun!

Linda Carpenter, Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools, Wisconsin Rapids, WI

Stuart Little is a charming adaptation of a wonderful children's story. School groups love it; audiences of all ages love it. I wish there were more story theatre pieces as well written as this.

Joanna Naumes, Seacoast Rep Youth Theatre, Portsmouth, NH

... A great script, a lot of fun for children to perform or watch. It's a very creative dramatization by Joseph Robinette.

Lisa Lincoln, El Dorado Children's Theatre, Santa Fe, NM

Nice flexibility in casting. Good production suggestions (boxes). Good choice for community theatre -- parts for all ages.

Roberta Weiner, Prana Productions, Holliston, MA

This tale with a "tail" was extremely delightful and this version worked really well with an all youth cast.

Production Manager, Orlando Repertory Theatre, Orlando, FL

Delightful version for the stage of a classic story for children! Very flexible stagingÑalways a plus.

Dr. Susan Steadman, Offshoot Productions, Peachtree City, Ga.

It was fabulous. The costuming was easy and the set was simple to create. The audience's imaginations were stimulated. Children were mesmerized.

Sharon Rubel, Christian Liberty Academy, Arlington Heights, Ill.

The wit of E. B. White was preserved and shone through. The suggested staging was particularly easy and flexible.

Ed Cornely, Cornely Productions, Sturbridge, Mass.

Stuart Little is a happy little fellow with a positive attitude towards life and its trials and tribulations. He meets each problem he finds with optimistic determination, and this comes through brilliantly in this play.

Kevin Appleby, Bunker Hill Middle School, Sewell, N.J.

I started Children's Theatre Company in 1996 with Stuart Little. My first recycled play this past summer was Stuart Little. What a great show for young actors who are looking for the challenge of playing multiple parts.

Tom Ostheimer, Children's Theatre Company, Williamstown, Mass.

Our sold-out houses of children of all ages were delighted with the show. Parents have commented on the validity of its strong messages for children.

Ron Jones, Lone Star College-Cy Fair, Cypress, Texas

Hints, Tips, and Tricks

Create your props far in advance. Extra visuals elevate the simplicity of the classic children's story to a joyful TYA experience.

Donna Marie Minano, Inland Valley Repertory Theatre, La Verne, Calif.

We used a storybook flat set with over-sized props for Stuart.

Michael Cochran, Market House Theatre, Paducah, Ky.

Practice rearranging boxes with cast. Can cause young actors great frustration.

Ed Cornely, Cornely Productions, Sturbridge, Mass.

We used the blocks [suggested as props] to make the New York City skyline, a classroom board, a "fork" in the road and the pond (complete with fish). Eighteen-inch cubes work well for the large blocks. All the blocks were painted by the stage crew, grades 7 & 8. Our makeup was elaborate and fun for the kids to learn.

Judy Kegler, Immaculate Conception School, East Aurora, N.Y.
