FAIRYTALES FOR TWISTED TOTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author\/performer\/composer Gareth P Jonesbrings his twisted fairytales (illustrated by Loretta Schauer) to life with music and silliness. Rabunzel is a long-eared rabbit who gets locked away in a high hutch by her over-protective mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CinderGorilla is a disco dancing gorilla who can’t go to the disco ball. Gareth P Jones doesn’t simply read these books. Instead, the audience becomes collaborator as we adapt these books into musicals. Featuring original sing-along songs, live music, fast rapping, funky ukuleles, heartfelt ballads & frenetic storytelling, this show is interactive, inclusive, irreverent and made to entertain all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
