The family musical ``Hansel &amp; Gretel,'' an adaptation of the classic tale
with engaging music, will be presented Friday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 11 at
the Darte Center of Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The production includes characters such as singing and dancing gingerbread
cookies, tiny forest fairies and a witch on a barley broom. The latter's comic
sidekicks, Frick and Frack, entice Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest
after they went searching for food for their hungry family. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The witch bakes and cooks up a storm, trying to find the perfect
gingerbread cookie recipe, using boys and girls. In the end, her plan to keep
more children from their families is thwarted by Hansel and Gretel and all the
townspeople who band together as a team. Together they rid the town of the
witch and her games, and all just in time for the Christmas holiday. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Performances will include a visit from Santa. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Shows will be Friday and Monday, Dec. 11 at 9:30 and 11 a.m. There is a
matinee performance Sunday at 3 p.m. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children younger than 12. Seats are
$3.50 for school groups of 10 or more. A discount is also available for
community groups. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 For information, call 675-4333. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
