Several members of the acting Zahn family of of Perry will perform in “The Fantasticks” Feb. 28, March 1, 2, 7 and 8 at TK’s Event Center in Boone.

If you have ever fallen in love, raised children or been in a relationship that withstands the test of time, you’ll love The Fantasticks!”
Sharing directorial duties with Herrick is Music Director Pamela Webster. Orchestra members are David Howell (piano), Katie Quandt (harp) and Ryan Kokjohn (bass). Cast members are Sharla Charlton (The Mute), Michele Jacobson (Hucklebee), Christopher Levi (El Gallo), Gershom Levi (Mortimer), David Michael (Bellomy), Abigail Zahn (Luisa), Bryan Zahn (Matt) and Drew Zahn (Henry).
