ABOUT OUR SHOW:
Once upon a time, there was a space where stories woke up night after night. We invite you to join us as we return to those stories and imagine them in a way which unites us.
Stories from Greek Mythology to tales of Knights and Classical Folk Lore beckon us to a place where we find hope and laughter before we end our day.
What is the show like? Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but... Imagine a bit of improv like Who's Line is it Anyway?™ meets your favorite camp games, meets Drunk Shakespeare™ meets Medieval Times™ meets snuggling in a blanket fort while your favorite narrators reads your favorite childhood book.
Bedtime Stories Theatre™ is a thoughtfully curated show designed to evoke nostalgia and become a family tradition.
