FLINT –
Flint Youth Theatre welcomes award-winning, national touring company The Paul Mesner Puppets in "The Stinky Cheese Man." Based on the Caldecott Award-winning book by Flint native Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith and adapted by Paul Mesner and Mike Horner, this one-day-only show offers two performances on Friday, May 29 and is the final show in FYT's Razzle Dazzle Series.
"The Stinky Cheese Man" features zany versions of classic tales infused with the fabulous humor that made the book popular among children and adults alike. Among the twisted tales is the real story of Chicken Licken (or is that Chicken Little?). And then there is Cinderumpelstiltskin, the Really Ugly Duckling and, of course, The Stinky Cheese Man, who no one wants to catch. And not to be outdone, the Little Red Hen will send audiences on their merry way with a somewhat revised version of her story. Jack the Storyteller takes audiences through the wacky twists and turns of these well-loved tales, retold with an offbeat, irreverent and zany flair. "The Stinky Cheese Man" is a hilarious stinky treat for the whole family.
Performances are 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 29 at Flint Youth Theatre, 1220 East Kearsley Street, on the campus of the Flint Cultural Center.
