The King and I and Plywood and Fern

Siam met Acorn Hill in May this year when Mayor Asher Ply Wood and Autumn Fern joined the cast of 53 others for the colorful onstage production of The King and I.

Fern had her hair dyed black, "I like my blond hair," she said, "but black is more Kind and I- ish". She was thrilled when she landed the role as Princess Yang Yaowalak. Prior to this Fern was not sure if she would have any lines.

Ply Wood was cast as a scientific dog as well as a prince. "My favorite part was being a scientific dog," said Ply Wood. In this role he was part of a "complicated dance scene" as Main House President Dad called it.

The show was a hit. In ran over two weekends with a waiting list of 70 at one point.
