Fireflies & Cigarettes: The Best American Fairy Tales by Bret Fetzer at Seattle Open Arts Place

Bret Fetzer has been writing and telling his original fairy tales around Seattle for over 40 years. So he's written a lot of them! And quite a few are pretty damn entertaining. These American fairy tales -- tales that still have all the classic structures of European, Arabian, and Asian fairy tales, but are set in a fusion of Appalachia and the Dust Bowl era, featuring farmgirls, coal mines, cigarettes, automobiles, and other U.S. iconography -- walk a line between sweet and sardonic, spooky and just-might-break-your-heart. Fetzer will be telling a bunch of his best at the cozy Seattle Open Arts Place (formerly 18th & Union). Different tales will be told each night!
