If geese had graves, Mother Goose would be rolling in hers.
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales retells–and wreaks havoc on–the allegories we all thought we knew by heart. Though the characters may be familiar, each of your favorite storybook fables is uproariously derailed in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith’s quintessential children’s book of fractured fairy tales.

Loved the characters interacting before the show began!
Great show. Funny and entertaining. The kids and I all enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to future shows at Chance Theater.
We had a FABULOUS time. This was such a cute play. Everyone did a terrific job. My 5y/o stay engaged the entire time. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. This was our 2 performance at the Chance Theatre and we will definitely be back!!
The actresses and actors all were very professional but had a lot of fun and the improv was clever
My daughter was laughing and enjoying the performance
We thought Jack was amazing. He chemistry of each character was magical
I thought the theater adaption was phenomenal, actors were funny and interactive, but the best part was my son participating. I don’t think he’d ever been so excited in his life. Now I need to look into children’s theater
Loved the audience participation
I loved it!!!
It was a wonderful time. I was in the “child” performance apparently, but still enjoyed the show immensely.
The whole show was wonderful. The cast was interactive and so entertaining. From the friendliness of those at the ticketing once we walked in to those saying goodbye at the finale of the show make me want to continue going to chance.
This was the first time I had been to a small theatre. I would come back in a heart beat. The play was extremely funny at the actors were great. I love the intimacy of the play.
I grinned or laughed without stopping for the entire show! Exciting to see how you’ve used this production to draw in kids and their families to attend live theater. Loved the “Autographs” page in the program, the availability of the cast for photos and signatures and conversations afterwards — all told, a great experience for all ages!
Fun production and it was very fun to have the kids in the audience involved and obviously having a good time. I remember this book from when I was small and it makes just about as much sense on stage as it does in the pages.
I appreciated the fact that our whole family thoroughly enjoyed this performance and laughed all night; my nine year-old, my two teenagers, and me and my husband, who did not fall asleep! Very entertaining from the moment we were in the lobby! We had a great night!
It was a great show. Very interactive and engaging actors.
The solution for the giant was fantastic!
I loved that we were right there in the middle of the action. Fantastic technique. Powerful actors, every single one.
