WHAT for KIDS Tent (next to Julie Harris Stage)
In Old Russia, things have been pretty much the same for as long as anyone can remember. Most people are dreadfully poor and even the Tsar can travel no faster than a horse can gallop. But what if he had a ship that could fly through the air? He decides to give his daughter's hand in marriage to the first person who can bring a Flying Ship to the Palace. Who will be the lucky winner? Who but a Fool and his boatload of Fantastic Friends, including the Listener, the Eater, the Strider, the Thirsty-One and Mr. Cool!
