Galli Theater Presents PUSS IN BOOTS, Closes May 29

Kids and parents can enjoy an unprecedented, interactive spin on the fairy tale Puss in Boots every weekend at 2 p.m. at Galli Midtown this May. The show is followed by a one-hour acting workshop for 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.

The only thing the Miller's Youngest Son inherits is a simple cat, but no ordinary cat is he. He can talk, he's witty, and he's got big plans! Soon the Miller's Son finds himself enjoying adventures, wealth and marriage to a beautiful princess.

In the one-hour 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.

Playwright, clown, and director Johannes Galli has been bringing fairy tales to kids for almost 25 years. Believing that fairy tales are healing for children, he uses the original story but changes the "grim" version into a humorous play that entertains kids and adults alike and has a fun and educational message in the end. "Fairy tales go beyond religious, cultural, and literary developments and are still relevant in today's society," said Johannes Galli. "At Galli Theater it's our mission to help children and adults reconnect with the ancient wisdom of these tales and myths."
