Andrew Clements award-winning story, Frindle, will be performed on the Arts Center of Cannon County stage, May 13th and 14th. The humorous story follows Nick, a very creative student, and his discovery into the power of words.  In Mrs. Granger’s language arts class, Nick gets his best idea ever when his teacher explains how words end up in the dictionary.  Nick decides to create his own word…frindle, and he gets other kids in the class to use the word. Before long Nick’s word creates a buzz well beyond his school and town. But his teacher loves the dictionary, so a fierce power struggle ensues over a made-up word!

Directed by Chelsea Toombs, the cast includes Lavy J. Little, Chamberlin Little, Carter Cantrell, M.E. Willow, Alena Denninger, Hannah Denninger, Kayleigh Jones, Dianna Reed, Michael Spencer, Joshua Grimes, Alaina Surgener, Mackenzie Turney, Lauren Turney and Hattie Fann.
