Tasty Monster Productions to Stage NY Premiere of FERDINAND at Shetler Studios Theatre 54, 2/21

A heart-warming, yet hard-hitting original drama about family, conflict, resilience, and the trials and tribulations of growing up. Inspired by the bull who wouldn't fight but just wanted to smell the flowers, Ferdinand is the wonderful and provocative tale of Tom, a single dad, and this ordinary man's attempts to go with the flow and raise his son with love and empathy in a world of corporate bullying and classroom peer pressure which is determined to make him fight. So who do you want to be, the bully or the bull? Recommended for ages 6 and above.
