Cute show that I liked, my 5 year old nephew liked, and my 7 and 9 year old daughters.

Good humor, music, acting, etc and the theatre was really great size for this age group. Felt very intimate and approachable, making theatre seem like something the kids could do.

The cast was very entertaining and very good. They presented the fables in such a fun way for adults and children to enjoy the entire show. With very little props, they managed to put on a great production!

My 8 year old grandson was enthralled. At first he said, "this is not a theater!" expecting, I think, a big move-like theater, so I had to explain about "intimate theaters where you have to use your imagination more". That stage thus being set, he relaxed into the stories. The acting was fantastic. It's a bit slow moving at the beginning, so expect some youngster squirming. Children are the best critics, you know!

Cute...the actors were good and the stage intimate. The storyline was silly...my 8 year old was a bit bored but my 6 year old liked it.
