The Fisherman and His Wife
Most enjoyed by ages 4 and up

What happens when a wish-granting fish turns a fisherman’s life upside-down with the flick of a fin? Find out when a simple fisherman is granted three wishes from a fantastical flounder. Will the fisherman’s selfish wife ever stop wishing for more and more? Adults and kids alike get into the act in this participatory production. Play along as we learn first hand why greed isn’t the way to go, kindness can make wishes come true and home truly is where the heart is!

DEADLINE April 16th- Cost is 5.75 per person.
