Along with an incredible theatrical production, our event will also include live  music, art demonstrations from talented local artists, and delicious snacks and desserts provided by The Cheese Lady of Fenton!! If successful, we plan to make this an annual festival of fun and culture that will benefit community members of all ages, as well as local businesses in the downtown area.”  Rebecca Philippi, President of Wishing Well Theatre Inc.
