Petersburg’s local acting group the Mitkof Mummers are performing a children’s play this weekend called “Fairy Tale Network”. It’s about Fairy Tales….kind of. KFSK’s Angela Denning has more:

The play starts out with three mice. They aren’t exactly blind but they are in a bind. They’re entertainment consultants for the Fairy Tale Network and they have to come up with some exciting stories fast otherwise their new boss, a cat, will eat them. The cat tells them they need to help get the network’s ratings up and quick.

The mice decide to bring back their favorite fairy tales but tell them in a way of which kids today can relate.

Before the play local singers will perform a few songs.
