In Bedtime Stories, it's Dad's turn to tell his three rambunctious kids their bedtime stories, but when he gets fuzzy on the details, the classics get creative: a prince with a snoring problem spices up “The Princess and The Pea,” “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” cries dinosaur instead, and “Rumpelstiltskin” helps turn all that pesky gold into straw. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Dad tells them! This fun and silly show is great for the whole family, including young children! If you like Bluey, you'll love Bedtime Stories!
Performances will be in the EGRHS Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m. on January 22 and 23 and 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on January 24. Tickets are $8 for students and $12 for adults. Premium seating for $12 (students) and $16 (adults) is also available. All EGRHS and EGRMS students can receive ONE FREE TICKET to any performance (with student ID), courtesy of the EGR Stage Boosters! Doors open 30 minutes prior to the scheduled curtain time. For more information and tickets, visit egrps.org/theatre.
