A multitude of costumes, a wide variety of characters and a whole lot of fun await patrons of the arts this weekend at the Yampitheater Playhouse’s first full drama production.

Yampitheater, a children’s activity space on the east end of Centennial Mall in Craig, presents the Yampitheater Players in “Mischief, Magic & Mayhem” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Tickets are $7 apiece for the three-part collection of short plays.

The trio of silly stories includes:

• “Yes, Indeed” — A group of confused travelers seeks advice

• “The Unfortunate Teller” — A phony psychic meets her latest customer

• “Almost Fairy Time” — The plight of magical woodland creatures

Yampitheater owner Jeana Womble oversees the show as well as being onstage herself. Some moments will be scripted, though other sections of the show will involve actors interacting with the crowd.

“There’s a lot of ad-libbing in the first one, so we need a big, unsuspecting audience for that one, but the others are more of a ‘relax sit back and watch,'” Womble said.

A cast of four adults and two children will have an assortment of roles, with a small technical crew providing a true live theatrical experience.

Sisters Verdie and Zella Bolen are the youngest actors of the bunch, featuring in different sections.

8-year-old Verdie Bolen said this is her first true play — not some online acting classes during COVID quarantine and performing in skits for her choir program — and she’s been pleased with the progress she’s made in the past three months.

“I had to read my lines again and again and again until could finally memorize it,” she recounted.

Zella will be providing concessions to the audience in character midway through the action, and the 11-year-old most looks forward to “the thought of seeing everyone’s faces.”

The siblings attend Maybell Elementary School and have invited their classmates to this weekend’s shows.

“Hopefully, a bunch of our school is going to come and a bunch of other kids,” Zella said.

The sisters will also be joined in the performance by mother Kinsey Bolen, who performs in one act but describes herself as primarily a “helping stage mom” for the rest of the show.

Besides being entertaining, the family activity has been a way for Kinsey to see her daughters grow by leaps and bounds.

“They had their lines memorized before the adults. They’ve had really great ideas and suggestions,” she said. “They do seem to have a natural knack and it’s been great to watch them flesh it out.”
