The performing arts have been going strong all winter in Stockholm, and spring is no different; you’ll find the Widespot's schedule to be a refreshing mix of comedy, music, film and classic poetry.
The Mouse that Roared, March 21, 22, 28 & 29, 2014
Stockholm’s second annual community play, The Mouse that Roared opens Friday, March 21, for four performances over two weekends. This will be the Widespot Players’ second community theater production. Described as a, “Hilarious, rib-tickling comedy with a message,” the story revolves around a miniscule, backward country who dares take on the armed might of the United States, hoping to lose…. “But then things happen.” And that’s when you know you’re in for an enjoyable production and some good laughs. Fans of community theater will surely rank this performance among their favorites. Event Info...
