Musicals at Richter’s Fairy Tale Theater By and For Young People July 12- August 2

Musicals at Richter (MAR) begins its 24th season of Fairy Tale Theater, a play series by and for young people, on Saturday, July 12 on the grounds of Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury.

The four-week series of shows includes: “Cinderella and The Little Match Girl”’ (July 12); “Hansel and Gretel” and “The Tencas and the Snowbank” (July 19); “The Clever Girl” and “The Sages of Chelm and the Journey to the Moon” (July 26); and “The Wizard of Oz” (August 2).

Robert Mayette of Ridgefield adapts and directs these classic tales, performed by an ensemble of 19 young area actors. The hour-long, interactive performances include plenty of audience participation, a show-related craft activity, birthday recognitions and a visit with narrator and troubadour Alan-a-Dale, played by Mayette.

Grounds open at 10:30 a.m. for the craft activity, with the show at 11 a.m. Bring blankets or chairs for seating on the lawn, along with sunscreen; the performance will move indoors in the case of inclement weather.

Tickets are $5 each and may be purchased at the door. A small snack and drink concession is available. For further information, visit the website at musicalsatrichter.org, leave a message at 203-748-6873 or e-mail info@musicalsatrichter.org.
