Kids will believe in magic when they see Father Featherbottom’s Forgotten Fairytales. This family-friendly, heartwarming romp through 21st century fairy tales is performed outdoors by the Audacious Theatre Company on Saturdays & Sundays in July and early August at various venues around town. All performances are at 11 a.m. There is no reserved seating. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish.
In the show, Mother Goose, the famous storyteller, only had one child of her own — Featherbottom. Now, Father Featherbottom’s fairytales are being shared far and wide in this one-of-a-kind performance filled with whimsical puppets and family-friendly action!
You and your little ones can play along with storytellers Finnian and Florian, who joyfully invite children to participate in these lighthearted tales. The narrators will share new, original stories featuring 21st century morals and messages such as self-reliance, consent, emotional intelligence and the power of honesty.
Children of all ages are welcome to participate, and will get to meet puppet friends, such as Mr. Caterpillar, the goblin prince, and even a dragon!
