- Registration Open for Furry Tales
The A.C.T. is currently holding registration for their Fall 2013 production of Furry Tales for grades K-4. Furry Tales is a straight play (
not a musical) full of laughs and adventure. It is a great show for kids who are interested in theater, but haven't wanted to tackle all of the singing and dancing involved in a full musical theater production. In the past, the fairy tale creatures have lived peacefully with the talking animals, telling and retelling their stories. But suddenly, the characters are mixing up the stories. Miss Muffet loves spiders – not curds and whey. Rapunzel wants her hair cut, and Snow White is making berry poison. To make matters worse, the animals are losing their tails! Can the two be connected? Join three brave creatures on their journey to unscramble the mess before the tales and tails are gone forever! For more detailed information, please visit our website at:
