“I like to participate for that reason, and I’m thankful to CP&R for allowing us to do it, and to Cullman High School for allowing us to do the camp here every year.” It’s an opportunity for us to get to know kids, and to promote theater with a younger generation, and to continue to build the arts in the community. Then, there are lots of time when we end up casting elementary kids in other shows, and so we like to know ahead of time who’s out there. You know, we get to start working with them some, getting to know them. Said Cook, “I like doing these camps, because I get to learn about upcoming talent: who’s coming up.

When he is flattened by a falling bulletin board, Stanley gets his wish, embarking on a whirlwind tour as a crimefighter (posing as a painting to catch an art thief), movie star (cast in a surfing movie as the board!) and human postcard, traveling the world via the postal system.Ĭullman High School and Cullman Community Theatre Director Wayne Cook directed the production with assistance from Cindy Pass and members of both of his troupes. The show, based on the popular “Flat Stanley” book series, follows Stanley Lambchop, who longs to live a life of adventure. – Cullman Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism (CP&R) on Saturday afternoon concluded its annual week-long summer theater camp with a production of “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr.”
