The Brothers Grimm Excellent Adventure
By Andrew Lloyd Baughman
Target Ages: Elementary and Middle School
SYNOPSIS: Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are washed up! After centuries of glory as the distinguished writers of Cinderella, Rumplestilskin and other fairy tale classics, they are now overshadowed by Harry Potter, Spongebob Squarepants, and Star Wars!
In a daring effort to reclaim their literary place in pop culture, the Brothers are coming to America to put on a show so spectacular… so amazing… so fantastic that the multitudes will stand up and cheer!
One problem: it hasn't been written yet!
Join Jacob and Wilhelm as they write a play about writing a story, featuring fabulous two-man re-enactments of Grimm classics "Little Red Riding Hood," "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs," "The Frog Prince" and more. Young audiences learn about structure and elements of fiction writing, and get the opportunity to write a brand new fairy tale with the Brothers. Lots of audience interaction, music and fun! Every show is different!
The Brothers Grimm Excellent Adventure received a successful first workshop production by The Fun Company in Frederick, MD. The play features real life brothers Andrew and Matt Baughman.
Tickets $12/$9
