Bright Star Theatre Presents: Aesop’s Fables These fables from the legendary Greek storyteller, Aesop, have been delighting young and old alike for thousands of years, and they still have a message for us today. Perfect for younger audiences, these classic tales entertain but also share a strong message about treating others fairly and knowing right from wrong. Stories like The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Tortoise and The Hare, and The Lion and The Mouse leave audiences with a message that is both timely, and timeless! https://vimeo.com/user115578715/review/446471424/8482111e11

BRIGHT STAR THEATRE PRESENTS: The Wizard Of Oz In 1900, L. Frank Baum published what would become a literary classic with his children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In 2018, Bright Star adapted the show into a two person play and the result was amazing! It was the hit of 2018 so we’ve brought it back for another year! While the medium might be different, the characters and classic storyline remain the same. Follow comic duo Lenny and Mabel down the yellow brick road to the land of Oz and meet all of your favorite characters along the way! Gain courage with the Cowardly Lion, take heart with the Tin Man, and find your wits with the Scarecrow in this fun interactive retelling of the L. Frank Baum classic. https://vimeo.com/user115578715/review/442834089/b951edb209

Will you conquer your day? Be fierce!

Bright Star Theatre Presents: Happily Ever After Get ready to laugh out loud at our hilarious renditions of some of the best from the Grimm Brothers’ iconic works.
