Furry Tales with a Twist
June 16 – 25
Santa Maria Civic Theatre

These summer performances are free to all in the hopes of getting more children involved in the arts. This season’s tale centers around two bumbling actors trying desperately to present a few of the world’s most beloved fairy tales. When they fumble the titles, “Goldisocks and the Three Wolves”; “The Three Billy Trolls Gruff”; and “The Three Little Bears”, it takes interaction with the audience to set the stories straight.
