THE STINKY CHEESE MAN AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES
Saturday, April 5 | 11am
Menchey Music Family Series
Based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, this hilarious musical deconstructs the tradition of the fairy tale. Characters slide in and out of their tales and nothing is quite as you remember it!
Poor Jack. He’s got to use his wits to save himself from the terrible Giant, so he begins telling his own versions of some very familiar stories: a tortoise racing a hair-growing hare; Cinderumplestiltskin; Little Red Running Shorts; and a couple of princesses who kiss frogs and sleep on peas. Jack must not only tell tales as fast as he can for as long as he can to avoid being eaten, but he must also overcome the disturbances caused by that pesky, bread-obsessed Red Hen and that annoying Stinky Cheese Man!

The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales, performed by Chicago’s Griffin Theatre Company, shares the joys of making stories your own and creating new possibilities for the familiar.
ChicagoParent.com exclaims, “Over the course of 45 minutes, actors play multiple parts bringing these stories to life. Terrific actors and great costuming make each character so unique that it took my 5-year-old a while to catch on that it was the same person.”
