Lillian Hellman’s gripping classic, The Little Foxes, will open this weekend at the Zanesville Community Theatre.

Set in the South in the early 20th Century, the play is directed by Eric Blake. Opening night is Friday, February 1 at 8 p.m., with other performances on Saturday, Februrary 2, also at 8 p.m., and Sunday, February 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, February 10 at 2:30 p.m.

The plot centers around family dynamics, money, and possible murder. The role of Regina Giddons, a woman who desires money above all, is played by Jillian VonGunten. Her husband, Horace Giddons, a very ill man, is played by Jim Hoskinson. Regina’s brothers, Ben and Oscar, are a pair both cruel and avaricious. They are played by Philip Palmer and Daniel Kelty respectively. Oscar’s wife, Birdie, a true southern gentlewoman, is played by Monica Van Nort. Leo, son of Oscar and Birdie, is played by Robert Blake Nessleroad. Payton Van Nort plays Alexandra Giddons, daughter of Regina and Horace. The role of William Marshall will be played by Steven Hendershott. Servants Addie and Cal, who are nearly the only moral characters in the play, are played by Angel Palmer and Eric Blake.
