"It’s hard to imagine a company with richer production values and consistent attention to detail... Take the kids or the adults to see this, and banish cabin fever for a while!" –Chicago Theater Beat
"A fun, meta-farcical take on classic fairy tales that makes sure everyone, young and old, leaves the theatre satisfied." –Centerstage
"Best of all, Fairy Tale tosses a few clever curveballs to its younger audience members by twisting the stories that they already know, to embed little life lessons." –Time Out Chicago Kids
Even though his dad is a frog and his mom claims to be a princess, Jack grew up in a house without fairy tales. So when he is thrust into a mysterious forest, threatened by bears and witches and trolls, he must find a way to survive without any knowledge of the "rules" of traditional folktales. Travel with Jack on a madcap quest to rescue children lost in the woods, escape from some extremely gruff billy goats, and help his parents find their Happily Ever After, in a world premiere fractured fairy tale.
Recommended for kids 5 and up. Children under 2 are not permitted.
Based on popular fairy tales and nursery rhymes, from the Brothers Grimm and beyond
By James E. Grote
Directed by Shole Milos
