Come one!  Come all!  Step right up!  Watch the greatest stories on Earth come alive under the big top!  It’s a circus full of laughter and lively storytelling as the ringmaster and players perform a variety of well-known tales such as “The Bremen Town Musicians,” “The Billy Goats Gruff,” “The Lion and the Mouse,” “Monkey See, Monkey Do” and “The Magic Fish.”  Launch the show with a core of 14 actors who double and triple roles, or enhance the lively circus theme with a full cast of characters, including a troupe of clowns and any other fun performers you want to highlight!  With its delightful humor, extremely flexible cast, and simple set and costumes, this play is a snap to produce — and an audience-pleaser for all!
