Bonnie L. Bradford Courtyard, 12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m.

This fun, fast-paced show is sure to delight audiences of all ages, while using familiar characters to shed light on relevant themes. Did Hansel and Gretel learn to find their own way out of the woods? Did they grow from their experience? Did the Witch become a force for good instead of evil? You will have to wait and see…
