“The retelling by Kathryn Schultz Miller is a delightful, fast-paced story with plenty of twists and turns. Along the way, audiences will visit a tavern, schoolhouse, singing lesson, farmhouse, marketplace and a scary walk through a covered bridge. As Miller reminds us, this is a ‘friendly’ play, not to be taken too seriously. Be prepared for a fun evening!”
