2013 Summer in the City Schedule

Tuesday, July 9 at 10:00am
The Little Red Wagon “Into the Grimm”
Donnelly Field - Berkshire Street between York St. & Cambridge St.
Rain site: Frisoli Youth Center, 61 Willow St.
A Hansel & Gretel game show, a Red Riding Hood interrogation, and Three
Little property developing Pigs are just some of the interpretations you’ll
see as you step Into the Grimm. Fairy tales and Fables teach us morals
and lessons that we can translate into everyday life, like “treat people
how you want to be treated,” “be nice to your neighbor”
and “don’t break into people’s homes.” Into the Grimm weaves its way
through stories you know, in ways you’ve never imagined them.
