Family Stages will provide plenty of entertainment on the stage at
Christ’s Lutheran Church beginning with a July performance of The
Legend of Finn McCool.
Audiences will be treated to a rollicking bit of Celtic folklore, The
Legend of Finn McCool. Finn, the great hunter, warrior and poet,
learns wisdom from the Salmon of Knowledge. Then he cleverly rids the
land of a clumsy giant and saves the Castle Tara from a flame-
breathing goblin. His story is told with vim and vigor and more than
a touch of Irish wit. The performance is set for Thursday, July 21st.
August audiences will be treated to Cinderella. This zany, two-actor
version of the timeless classic features all the well known
characters: poor Cinderella, stuck with the household chores; her
vain, overbearing step-sister; the Fairy Godmother and, of course,
Prince Charming. The story takes on a hilarious new dimension with
the addition of Miles the Town Crier. Miles is a young, hip trumpeter
is trying to join the palace band. Cinderella is scheduled for August
11th.
Family Stages summer performances are designed for all family
members, ages 3 and up. The shows run just under an hour. Curtain for
