Show: Three Billy Goats Gruff
Company: Old Gem
Venue: MCTC Whitney Studio
Die Roll: None -- Wendy Selection
I was sort of disappointed that the Fringe didn't schedule more kids shows on the final weekend, or that they were right on top of each other in the first two time slots on Saturday. I brought my daughter with me again this morning, but I was only able to take her to the first two Time Slots. No dice. She got to pick the shows. And in this slot she chose to see Joe Scrimshaw, Tim Uren and Jen Scott in one of her favorite folk tales.
Wendy really liked the fact that she got to learn how to count to three in Norwegian, and that she got to get up on stage to blow bubbles at Joe who was playing the troll. She was on a mission to blow streams of bubbles into Joe's eyes.
This is the kind of kids show that is a lot of fun with very little production expense. Kids don't need to have all the fancy stuff. They are willing to play make believe with you for an hour if you'll play with them, and that's what this show accomplishes. It was beautiful.
Great show.
RATING: "d20 - One of the Best"
