 “In and Old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.”  With that familiar phrase, Bemelmans set in motion the adventures of a precocious little girl named Madeline, winning the hearts of generations of readers to come. After last season’s sold out production of Madeline’s Christmas, Madeline returns to the cauldron for another adventure in the Bemelman series. While visiting a traveling carnival in town, Madeline and her friend, Pepito, become trapped on top of the Ferris wheel and separated from her classmates during a sudden rainstorm. Soon they are swept away by the gypsies and become a part of the carnival themselves! A madcap adventure ensues as Madeline and Pepito embrace the gypsy life.

The twelve little girls, and a resident mouse, will be played by members of Creative Cauldron’s Learning Theater Ensemble, with Piper Boatwright and Talia Cutler sharing the role of Madeline.  The cast also includes Carli Smith as Miss Clavel, the intrepid head of the Catholic boarding school.  Carli was most recently seen in Creative Cauldron’s Helen Hayes Awards© Recommended production of The World Goes Round.  Other regional credits include playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde and Sandy in Grease with the Margate City Players.  The professional adult cast also includes Laura Connors Hull as the Gypsy Mama, Scott Harrison as the Strongman, and Ethan Miller as the Clown. Laura is the Producing Director of Creative Cauldron and appeared as Mrs. Murphy, the Irish cook, in last season’s Madeline’s Christmas. Scott’s regional credits include:  Mendel in Fiddler on the Roof at Arena Stage, as Rapunzel’s Prince in Into the Woods at Next Stop Theatre Company, and the Steward in Into the Woods at Toby’s Dinner Theatre. Ethan Miller appeared last season as Miles in Creative Cauldron’s critically acclaimed world premiere musical The Turn of the Screw.

Tickets for Madeline and the Gypsies can be purchased online at www.creativecauldron.org or by calling 703-436-9948.
