 NOVA Center for the Performing Arts is staging a retelling of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver’s Travels."
The youth production opens on Jan. 27 and runs through Feb. 11. For show times or tickets, call NOVA at 591-9535. 
Lemuel Gulliver recounts his wild tales of strange lands and exotic people in this satirical classic adapted from Swift's book. In the NOVA production, Gulliver is depicted as a down-on-his-luck physician who recounts his adventure to the obnoxious townsfolk. The story is told in a vaudevillian style with bright costumes and outlandish characters.

Gulliver's Travels" features more than 20 local actors. Haleigh Rowden, Julia Reger-Brown, Landry Gatlin and Owen McCaughey are pictured in the back row. Justin James, Luke Johnson, Courtney Tougas and Ell Brockman are in the front.
