It’s a mosaic of a man’s life.

Come along for the journey when the Northern Lehigh Little Theatre presents “Big Fish: School Edition.”

Showtimes are at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday in the Northern Lehigh High School auditorium.

Tickets can be purchased either at the door or ahead of time on the district’s website, www.nlsd.org.

Kayla Driscoll, director, explained why she chose this particular show.

“ ‘Big Fish’ is not as common a show as one might be used to seeing on the school circuit, but it’s a show with so much heart, love, magic and feeling that when the right group of students came out to audition for it, the choice was made crystal clear to me,” Driscoll said.

She described the plot, noting that “Big Fish” is about the life of Edward Bloom and his son, Will, each on the precipice of great changes ahead.

“The story’s central conflict isn’t caused necessarily by a clear villain or event, but rather by the strained and fickle relationship of a father and his son who are desperate to understand each other in an honest way for the first time in their lives,” she said. “Will is rigid and analytical in his thinking; one that resists the fantastic and outlandish tales of his father.

“This story is about a man who seeks great adventure and bigness and sees magic in the world around him and his hopes to pass down those lessons to his son and leave a legacy behind.”

Driscoll said the cast is comprised of senior Seth Schaeffer, who stars as Edward Bloom; junior Adriana Danyluk, as Sandra Bloom; sophomore Aidan Rudolph, as Will Bloom; sophomore Andi Szwast, as Josephine; sophomore Riley Krasenics, as Karl the Giant; and senior Reece Johnson, as Amos Calloway.

Driscoll said the students have been rehearsing since December, “including a fantastic few workshops with Tap Ties, a local company dedicated to bringing the art of tap dance to those who are novices and experts alike.”

“The students have been an absolute joy to work with,” Driscoll said. “Early on, I think they were as hesitant as anyone seeing an ‘unknown’ title as part of our season. But during our read-throughs and runs, they’ve come to realize that there is absolute magic in this show.

“It is a show that allows for unbelievable characters to go on such a profound, emotional journey. More than a few rehearsals have ended with tears as they join these characters and take a part in their stories. It’s been beautiful to see.”

Driscoll outline her overriding objective for the play.

“My hope is that audiences see this show as a celebration of the things that make us think differently,” she said. “For all of those who cannot help but daydream and imagine for the ‘bigness’ and fullness they want their lives to have, for those who quite literally cannot stop themselves from seeing things practically and who struggle to take big risks for the fear of statistics working against them, and for those who want to live lives that leave behind a legacy of love behind them.

“Edward Bloom transforms everyone he meets, some quicker than others. And at the end of his life, realizes that all of his stories have given him all he ever hoped for; a life that is big and well-meaning.”
