Times are tough for the people of the village, so Hansel and Gretel are sent into the woods to gather berries. They get lost in the forest where they meet up with a number of peculiar characters. A fiery troll who guards his little wooden bridge from all who attempt to cross over it, and an articulate owl, giving advice to anyone who will listen. They are misdirected by a forest sprite, and two hobgoblins in the service of an evil (but extremely funny) witch, who meets them at every turn to guide them to the witch’s delight-fully yummy house. The witch makes Gretel cook and clean from morning until night and locks poor Hansel in a cage fattening him up by feeding him nothing but cake! Gretel, however, outwits the crone freeing herself, her brother and all the children who have been turned into cookies. This musical is sweetened delightfully!

 

 

Remember that this theatre does NOT issue individual tickets, I will have a group invoice.  Therefore, we will meet at 9:30 am in front of the Mesa Arts Center's Eliott/Nesbit Theatre to gather as a group and be ready to go inside when they begin seating.   Please check in with me so that I know that you have arrived.  I have found that people are able to locate my identical twin daughters in a crowd easier than finding me.   They always dress alike, and their photographs can be seen at http://www.theparsonsfamily.com .   If you arrive late, it's possible that we've already gone into the theatre.     Let the theatre company representative know that you are in Jan Parsons' Homeschool group.   I always let them know if there are families that haven't arrived when we go into the theatre.  It is at their sole discretion, however, on when and where you are seated.  Most of the companies fill the theatre from front to back, row by row, so it's probable that you will not sit with our group if you arrive late.  They may choose to seat other groups before you.  If the show has already begun, they may require you to wait for an appropriate time so as not to disturb others, meaning that you may miss some of the show.
