The touring theatre company, National Players, present “Call of the Wild” at 8 p.m. Oct. 20 in McDaniel College’s WMC Alumni Hall.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. For tickets and information, call the Box Office at 410-857-2448.

“Call of the Wild,” a musical adaptation of Jack London’s Alaskan adventure novels “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang,” explores the humanity in every creature and the idea of unconditional love. In the musical, written by Jon Lipsky, man and dog challenge the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Far North only to discover that, while it is hard to go into The Wild, it is even harder to come back.

The music by Bill Barclay is a blend of music hall, honky-tonk, and folk styles.

For years, McDaniel College has served as a stop for the Players, America’s longest-running classical touring company. The group travels state-to-state for audiences across the country, from inner-city schools to rural America.

Players’ productions stick to strict traditions of touring theater: Company members double and triple in roles and technical assignments like lighting, sound, and costumes.
