The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales

Arden Theatre Company presents The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, adapted by John Glore, and directed by Whit MacLaughlin. This irreverent parody gives classic fairy tales a wickedly delightful twist.

What do you get when you take classic fairy tales and turn them on their head? According to The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, the Ugly Duckling grows up to be A Really Ugly Duck, Cinderella snubs Rumpelstiltskin, and the Princess kisses a frog only to end up with a mouthful of slime. Intertwined throughout the show, the zany takes on traditional fairy tales are sure to delight audiences of all ages.
