Charleston Stage staff spent a beautiful day in Fort Motte SC on the Wiles family farm. There were paddle boat and canoe rides on the pond, walks through Mrs. Wiles beautiful flower gardens and tours of Mr. Wiles (Sr.) restored 1930s General Store. Personally I found a hammock that needed stretching and enjoyed watching the activities from there. Since May of 2007 Charleston Stage has produced 12 shows in 2 brand new venues, from the world premiere of Denmark Vessey at Piccolo to our Sottile and American theatre series. I needed a break. No Charleston Stage event is complete without food and Jenny Hane, Julian and Mrs. Wiles took care of that. We were invited for lunch, but stayed through dinner and all left with goody bags. Thanks to the Wiles family (Jr & Sr) for a great day! Marybeth Clark Associate Artistic Director
