Wallingford Actor plays featured role in "Flat Stanley"

The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr. will come to life at the Walnut Street Theatre this April featuring Stephen Fala, an actor from right outside the Media region.

Stephen Fala, a Wallingford resident, plays the role of Arthur, the brother of Flat Stanley, in the production. He was most recently seen on stage at the Walnut in StinkyKids and The Wizard of Oz and has performed regionally in Beauty and the Beast, West Side Story (Media), Heathers, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Mauckingbird). He also performed in the national tours of Henry & Mudge and A Christmas Carol.

Fala first read Stanley's story when he was in kindergarten. He even participated in the Flat Stanley project and mailed his colored cutout across the world. He grew up with grandparents that loved to travel, allowing Stanley (and Stephen) to truly see the world.

Audiences will embark on an extraordinary journey with The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr. Packed with song-and-dance fun, exciting travel and new discoveries, this production is based on the popular children's book series that has inspired countless kids, parents and teachers to mail Flat Stanley all over the world.

Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary ten-year-old who wishes his life was a little more exciting. One morning Stanley gets his wish and wakes up to find he is very, very flat. He decides to make the best of the situation as he's whisked away on a globe-trotting journey more exciting than he could ever have imagined.

The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr. runs at the Walnut from March 31 – April 14. Tickets start at just $15!
