Back By Popular Demand! Mr. Bradbury is scheduled to attend on Saturday January 19th.

Two of the plays included in Ray Bradbury’s holiday show, Noel, at Fremont Centre Theatre have proven so popular, that they’re being brought back in January, adding a third play to make a full evening of theatre.

“The Pedestrian” is the story of a dystopian future, where walking outdoors after dark whether for pleasure or exercise is prohibited by law. Jay Gerber and Michael Prichard play two men who choose to defy that law in this new staging based on Bradbury's precursor to his masterpiece “Fahrenheit 451.”

In “Invisible Boy,” a manipulative but lonely witch seeks to adopt a relative as her own son. As an inducement, she offers the lad a gift of invisibility. Things don’t turn out quite the way she planned. Roses Prichard and Grady Hutt star in this new adaptation of the classic Bradbury fantasy.

“Bless Me, Father, For I Have Sinned”: A priest is called upon to give absolution on Christmas Eve for a supplicant’s appalling act of cruelty. Jay Gerber stars in this stage adaptation of Bradbury's tale.

As the nude person runs up the aisle at one point, I should think that any late arrival might risk being knocked down by a yelping lad in his altogethers!

Phil! I don't know about the seating, but "tasteful nudity" means the audience will be...shaken, not stirred!

I thought the BOY was meant to be invisible, not the clothes!

The boy in the story was young enough to believe he was invisible and could shed his clothes. How old is the lad in the play?

Here's a recent photo of him on stage.

No. That's my favorite movie and is based on a story by Betsy Beaton, the original of which I've never been able to locate.

The manuscript edition can be found here.

Wow. Thanks. Who'da thunk it? Several years back I spent a long time looking for this.

Here is the playbill for The Invisible Boy.
