About This Show
Children’s Theatre of Charlotte’s Tarradiddle Players presents Wiley and the Hairy Man.
Living on the edge of the swamp with his mother (the county’s best conjuring woman), Wiley is terrified of the Hairy Man. Protected by his mother’s charms, Wiley learns that the only way to drive away the Hairy Man is to trick him three times. Using his own wits, and summoning his own courage, Wiley is finally able to face his own fears and outsmart the Hairy Man. First put to paper in 1932 as part of the New Deal’s Federal Writer’s Project, Wiley and the Hairy Man is a classic Southeastern folk tale in the oral tradition that draws from native folk wisdom.
