Happily Ever After and others by George Halitzka
When Gregory Wolf shows up at the Grimm Brothers' office, he only wants one thing: a happy ending. Gregory believes that even a wolf can live happily ever after, but Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs are convinced that he's destined to be a villain. Gregory could be a wolf with a heart of gold or he could have Grandmas on his mind. Only Jacob Grimm can give him a story that's just right.
Crested Butte Mountain Theatre is proud to announce the YouTheatre performance of Happily Ever After, Cinderella in Middle School, and Ten Little Pigs by George Halitzka, directed by the mother-daughter team of Deborah and Danielle Gillman.
