This musical comedy will be followed by a complimentary milk and cookies reception. "Fisherman" features a book by Paul Vanderoest with music and lyrics by Kerry Graves.
About the show: This musical, based on the fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm, incorporates lively songs and likable characters to teach that satisfaction with yourself is the most precious commodity of all.

Featuring Jeremy Salvatori, Gayle Ellen Martin and Chelsea Sadler.
