FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday, October 21, 2019

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Theatre at Tarleton and the Young People Series present “Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium on the Stephenville campus.

Performances are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The box office opens one hour before curtain time, and tickets are $3 per person. All seating is general admission.

The play, written by Don Zolidis, is a comedic portrayal of classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm featuring alternate endings and surprise twists as two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the stories in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza.

Making it even more challenging, the narrators attempt to combine the stories into a single gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other, more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil and His Grandmother.
