Reminder: Twisted Fairy Tales by Left Coast Theatre Co at the Shelt... @ Fri Mar 28, 2014 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

more details » Twisted Fairy Tales by Left Coast Theatre Co at the Shelton Theatre Tickets are now on sale for Left Coast Theatre Co.’s production of Twisted Fairy Tales, a world-premiere collection of seven hilarious one-act, LGBT-themed plays by playwrights from the Bay Area and across the country. Twisted Fairy Tales brings classic children’s stories into the millennium, rouges them up, gives them fabulous new outfits and whisks them off to sometimes questionable - but always entertaining - destinations. The show will focus on two favorite topics: how to find love and how to make it work in this crazy, social media-addicted world– this time with the help of a couple of inept fairy godmothers, an incoherent homeless fairy, an indignant stepmother and an irrational chicken. Production Details for Twisted Fairy Tales LCTC is proud to present: * Calc 101 - by Nick Brunner, directed by Joseph Frank * Eat Me! - by Paul Dana, directed by Joseph Frank * Happily Ever After - by Chris Maltby, directed by Scott Boswell * The Mice Will Play - by Matt Crowley, directed by Margot Manburg * My Fairy Godmothers - by Rodney Rhoda Taylor, directed by David Rice * Poof - by James A.
