The Regent Theater's Family Fun Saturday Series presents the Makeshift Theatre Company in Rumpelstiltskin, the fourth installment of Jack Neary's Misdirected Series at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 17. This imaginative collection of plays for young audiences is based on classic fairy-tales, but with an added twist. This time MTC presents their version of the story of the mysterious little man whose name seems to elude the entire kingdom. Come see the company as they pool their storytelling talents yet again to bring you and your family this thrilling and entertaining tale! Local favorite, musician & playwright Liz Buchanan, arrives for the Feb. 24 FFS show.
From eclectic grown-up entertainments to kid-pleasing classics, the DayTripper Dispatches offer family-friendly day trips for families, vacationers, and travelers to Greater Boston and eastern Massachusetts. The Dispatches are a perfect complement to our wildly popular DayTripper print books, e-books, and GPS editions.
