FAIRYTALE TOWN APRIL & MAY EVENTS

Family Friendly Fun this Spring
The Fairytale Town Troupers - The Frog Princess

April 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 & 17 (Saturdays & Sundays)

Two Show times: 12:30PM & 1:30PM
The Fairytale Town Troupers are back with their first show of the season, the Frog Princess. Belazar Jette' is labeled the "Crown Prince of College Basketball" by sportscasters everywhere. The week before his first major NBA draft, Benny reluctantly agrees to visit his great-great grandmother in the deep, deep South, an extremely isolated little bayou town known only as Nola. Benny brings along his "Golden Ball," a national college basketball trophy topped off with a solid gold basketball, to try and impress her. When he loses his "Golden Ball" in the swamp, he is devastated, but help comes along in the most unexpected form: a talking frog. Rollicking Zydeco coupled with Mardi Gras Magic makes it a joyous Cajun Carnival for all ages. Performances will be held in Fairytale Town's Children's Theater. Tickets are $1, members and children 1 and under are free, in addition to paid park admission (show subject to change).
