Galli Theater Announces Their Fall Events

Galli Theater has children's favorite fairy tales coming up this fall at Galli Midtown. Kids and parents will be able to enjoy an unprecedented, interactive spin on the beloved stories. Kids are invited to interact with the actors during all shows. Plays begin at 2 p.m. every weekend, and are followed by a one-hour acting workshop for the kids on Saturdays. "Finally, an opportunity to expose your children to the fabulous world of theater in an affordable and age-appropriate setting", said Gabriella from 8Moms.com.

SEPTEMBER

ALADDIN - September 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25 at 2 p.m.

Galli's adaptation of Aladdin is an uplifting remake of the original Middle-Eastern folk tale. Aladdin, a poor boy, suddenly gets to possess a wonder lamp that can fulfill all of his wishes. Of course he wishes to marry the princess. But at first he needs to fulfill some dangerous tasks, and has to overcome the wicked magician. This musical show is full of colorful costumes and oriental music.

OCTOBER

RAPUNZEL - October 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30 at 2 p.m.

Rapunzel lives in a tower guarded by the witch. One day, a prince discovers her and comes climbing up, but the witch will not tolerate this. Kids get engaged by helping Rapunzel, and her prince find each other again.

NOVEMBER

HANSEL AND GRETEL - November 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, and 27 at 2 p.m.

In this classical Brothers Grimm fairy tale the siblings Hansel and Gretel run away from home, and find themselves alone in a dark forest. Very soon they discover a Gingerbread House and meet its respective owner, the wicked Witch. Hansel and Gretel interact with the children in the audience, and ask them to help them trick the wicked Witch. At the end Gretel outsmarts her, using the Witch's own spell, and frees herself and Hansel from the magical bonds.

DECEMBER

SNOW WHITE - December 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, and 18 at 2 p.m.

Galli's Snow White encourages kids to beware of strangers. In this twist on the familiar story, a man, named Mr. 7-Dwarf, rescues Snow White not once, but three times. Meanwhile, a king places an ad in the newspaper looking for a beautiful wife.

THE AFTER SHOW WORKSHOP

In the after-show workshop children are encouraged to dress up in costumes and act out their favorite fairy tale characters. The workshop is followed by a mini performance for the adults. "Galli's Fairytale Theater is a perfect place to bring your children and make them feel comfortable about the stage, the experience of theater, and maybe even the art of being in it," said Carol Cain, Managing Editor of NY Metropolista.
