What do you get when you take classic fairy tales and turn them upside down, inside out, and all mixed up?
April 8 — May 31, 2026
Classic fairy tales get mixed up and downright silly in The Stinky Cheeseman and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. How about the Ugly Duckling growing up to be A Really Ugly Duck? Or the Princess kissing a frog only to end up with a mouthful of slime? With quirky characters, funny twists, and enough stinky cheese to go around, this hilarious adaptation of the beloved book will have kids and parents falling out of their seats.
