Merry-Go-Round Theatre performs ‘Bremen Town Musicians’ July 13 at OPL

The Friends of the Oneida Public Library present at the library, 220 Broad Street, a free performance by the Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre of a new comic play with music, The Bremen Town Musicians,” based on the Grimm Brothers’ folktale of the same name, Friday, July 13, at 3 p.m.

“The Bremen Town Musicians,” written for the stage by Lisa Chase and Erin Katzker, follows four aging and neglected farm animals (a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster) as they take to the road to Bremen to become musicians. Along the way, they join forces to face a whirl of misadventures and learn that teamwork and a dash of music can save the day.

The Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre is a fully professional company of actors that performs and teaches throughout Upstate New York. It reportedly reaches throughout the academic year more than 100,000 students across the state through its multi-disciplined Sequential Dramatics program. During the summer, it performs staged shows based on classic fairy tales and legends at public libraries, churches, parks and schools.

The performance of “The Bremen Town Musicians” at the OPL is free and open to children and adults of any age, and it is made possible by the support of the Friends of the Oneida Public Library. For more information, stop by the library or call (315) 363-3050.
