The Three Magic Wishes - Toronto Fringe Festival
After their hit show Three Billy Goats Gruff in the 2006 Fringe (5 Stars in EYE MAGAZINE), Cow Over Moon brings you another original take on a classic story. When a young couple of poor woodcutters are given three wishes by a magical wood nymph, absolutely anything can happen. Add in a couple of thieving brothers to the mix and only disaster and hilarity can follow. For 12 years, Cow Over Moon Children's Theatre has produced plays that have become a tradition for hundreds of families in Mississauga . Using improvisation, these artists create new versions of well-known tales with creativity, participation and a healthy dose of hilarity. This show is suitable for kids aged 4 to 104. ABSOLUTELY NO LATE COMERS! Children's Theatre Palmerston Library Theatre, TOronto 560 Palmerston Avenue @ Bloor and Bathurst. Tickets: $5 children; $10 adults.
