Our 1993 show...

A Grimm Look at Fairy Tales

– or –

Who Cooked Mother’s Goose?

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe, it looked like a sound shell – what can you do? But her boys entertained her all the day long, by sweet serenading with barbershop song. Now her Henry has left her, that heel, and what’s more, the rent’s overdue and the wolf’s at the door. Can Mother Goose help her? Can Mom rise to glory? To tell any more would just ruin the story. To find out the rest, sit tight and hang loose, while we deftly butcher poor old Mother goose.

You live in a...a....a shoe?!?
Chorus:
Gesundheit!
Little Red Riding Hood:
When I worked at the photomat, I used to think that some day my prints would come... Try not to be so negative... let’s go into my dark room and see what develops. (hugging prince)
