Hutton’s Hamlet is planning for its 19th season of Summer Youth Theater and they’re as excited as ever to get the practices and performances underway.

First up this summer will be the Adventures Of A Comic Book Artist, June 9 and 10.

As janitor at Wonder Comics, Stanley Sappovitz yearns for the day that his boss will see his drawings, and he too can become a comic book artist. When a set of magic pens guaranteed to bring any character to life is ordered and unwittingly creates real-life super villain Dr. Shock Clock, it’s up to Stanley to save the day with his own superheroes in this fast-paced musical comedy.

Hutton’s Hamlet Performing Arts Center is at 132 W. G St., Oakdale.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for 12 and under. Call for performances times, 209-848-1216.
