Sweet Tea Shakespeare is a theater company that focuses on bringing the works of Shakespeare and other renowned authors to life. So, it is fitting for Traycie Kuhn-Zapata to showcase her enchanting production LITtle Women & Other Stories to the stage from June 20-22 at The Arts Council of Fayetteville, 301 Hay Street, Fayetteville.
Kuhn-Zapata is the Artistic Director and long-time singing and acting member of Sweet Tea Shakespeare.
“During my tenure at Sweet Tea Shakespeare, I have had the privilege of working on numerous key projects, including the Green Tea Youth Company, which aims to enhance the acting abilities of our young performers. I have also composed and directed a series of LIT Productions, Drunken Shakespeare, and other classic story interpretations, such as No LIT Sherlock and Romeo and JuliLIT,” Kuhn-Zapata shares.
“As we embark on this new season, I am excited to introduce you to our upcoming production of LITtle Women & Other Stories, a choose-your-own-adventure story that combines the tropes from your favorite early 2000s rom-coms. This unique blend of classic literature and modern storytelling will captivate audiences and leave them longing for more,” Kuhn-Zapata says.
Kuhn-Zapata is most proud of all who participated or are currently participating in bringing theatre to life with plays that enrich the lives of their audiences. Their talented ensemble has a proven track record of delivering exceptional performances that transports audiences to different eras and worlds.
“My goal is to continue to bolster the warmth and love that theater can bring to individuals and the community around us. I am more excited than ever for the upcoming seasons, and I cannot wait to share this journey with you,” Kuhn-Zapata delightfully adds.
