Based on the popular children’s book written by Jon Scieska and illustrated by Lane Smith, “The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales” deconstructs the tradition of the fairy tale. Characters slide in and out of tales. Cinderella rebuffs Rumpelstiltskin, Goldilocks meets the Three Elephants. Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk must use his wits to save himself from the terrible giant, but a host of familiar fairytale characters keep messing up his plans. Nothing is quite the same as you remember it.

Recommended for children ages 6-10 and their families. Children are invited to pick up complimentary activity packets to take home after the performance, thanks to Wharton Center Inner Circle volunteers.
