Kids all ages can enjoy three different fairy tale shows by Galli Theater this November in New York City.  The theater group will perform the beloved tales of Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Snow White and has secured partnerships with two other theater locations apart from Galli's headquarters at 38 West 38 Street.  Fairy tales will also be performed at the National Comedy Theatre on 347 West 36 Street, and at the Bruckner Restaurant in the Bronx this November. 
 
GALLI'S CINDERELLA at Galli Theater (38 West 38 Street)Show times: November 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 3 p.m.
Galli's Cinderella is an uplifting remake of the original Grimm story about a pure-hearted girl who loses her mother but finds her prince.  This fairy tale tells the story of how inner strength, hope and kindness win over outer beauty.  Everyone feels part of the story as the company interacts with its audience in its intimate, cozy 60-seat theater. 
 
GALLI'S FROG PRINCE at the National Comedy Theatre (347 West 36 Street)Show times: November 20th, and 21st at 3 p.m.
Children and adults will be delighted by the silly antics of the princess, the king and a very animated frog.  Galli's Frog Prince encourages children to express their feelings and overcome their fears.  This play leaves audiences spellbound by the life lessons it reveals.  Galli Theater invites you to watch this trailer of Frog Prince which was performed at Easter Seals, a nonprofit and community-based health agency dedicated to helping children and adults with disabilities attain greater independence, in the Bronx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9dzz0No_wA&feature=player_embedded
 
GALLI'S SNOW WHITE at the Bruckner Restaurant (1 Bruckner Blvd., Bronx)
Show times: Saturday, Nov. 20th, at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 21st, at 3:30 p.m.
A king places an ad in the newspaper looking for a beautiful wife.  Mr. 7-Dwarf, the all-in-one Dwarf, rescues Snow White not once, not twice but three times. 
 
At the end of each show the theater group invites kids to join the after-show workshop where they can act out their favorite fairy tale characters, and dress up in costumes.  The workshop is followed by a mini performance for the adults. 
 
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 educating 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 to reconnect to the ancient wisdom of these tales and myths."
