A festival of fairy tales and giants

Firebone Theatre presents “Long, Long, Ago,” a musical mash up of three popular fairy tales beginning on Dec. 5 at Space 38|39.

This production combines Oscar Wilde’s “The Selfish Giant,” Charles Perrault’s “The Fairies,” and the Grimm Brothers’ “Hans Dumm” into a unique holiday festival series of performances for all ages. Families will enjoy music, laughter, and the ever-comforting milk and cookies.

“Long, Long, Ago” Dec. 5 through Dec. 20, at 7 pm, with special performances on Dec. 7 at 2 pm, Dec. 10 at 11 am, Dec. 14 at 2 pm, and Dec. 17 at 11 am. Tickets are $20 for adults, and $15 for children 15 and under, which includes the cookies and milk.
