EVENT: Fairy Tale Farm at Old Sturbridge Village
Old Sturbridge Village invites all press and media outlets to the premiere of the new outdoor, summer theater experience, Fairy Tale Farm, written and directed by P.J. Griffith. Map in hand, guests will walk through the Village to various buildings that become the stage for each performance. Familiar fairy tale characters step out of their “homes” for the first time since the pandemic and are faced with real-world, grown-up issues;
- Pinocchio is a former child star coming to terms with his life as a “real boy.”
- Recently awakened Beauty (formerly sleeping) is a princess-turned-Instagram star.
- Little Red’s once-devoured grandmother, Granny Lil, is back and feisty as ever.
- Goldilocks (newly engaged to Baby Bear) is an ambitious young tech entrepreneur launching her new product.
- A third little pig named Vincent whose rational thinking has kept him alive.
- Hansel, who’s determined to get in shape post-pandemic, and Gretel, who’d prefer to stay in quarantine.
-
Fairy Tale Farm at Old Sturbridge Village will also feature music by Gracie Day, a New England musician known for a fun mixture of rock, folk, and soul in her music. Performances will be repeated throughout the night.
