The Crossroads Repertory Theater season continues this week with "Pixies, Kings, and Magical Things: Three Tales by Hans Christian Andersen", a play for the young or the young at heart.
Written by Ric Averill, it is a stage adaption of some of Andersen's most beloved stories. Andersen himself becomes a character within the play recounting some of his own history as an "ugly duckling." The Crossroads production intersperses the history of the author with three of Andersen's tales: "The Swineherd," "The Pixie and the Grocer," and "The Emperor's New Clothes." .
The CRT performances are held in ISU's New Theater at 540 N. 7th Street - on the Downtown Arts Corridor!
