Live in person theatre performance by high school performers for young audiences. Each of your favorite storybook fables is hilariously turned upside down in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith’s classic children’s book of fractured fairy tales. Everything from “Chicken Little” to “The Gingerbread Man” gets a messed up makeover. Join us for the fun, the music, and of course for the stinky cheese!
