On Stage, for July 2017
July isn’t the high season for stage shows, but the Columbus area still has plenty of talent treading the boards.
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
The Georgia Repertory Theatre and The Spring Opera House present a stage adaptation of Jon Scieszka’s outstanding 1992 postmodern children’s book. The book took your favorite children’s stories, turned them inside out, and dipped them in a light confection of absurdist fun. This stage adaptation brings to life the witty narration, ineloquent giants and sassy barnyard animals you and your children have loved for years.
July 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 at 7 p.m., July 9, 16, 23 at 2 p.m., McClure Theatre at the Springer Opera House, 103 10th Street, Columbus, (706) 327-3688
