Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “Galoshes of Fortune,” the annual children’s show at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Department of Theatre Arts.
“We chose this play because it is really fun and goofy,” said Beth Cherne, a UW-L theater faculty member who is directing the play. In the play, two fairies try to make happiness as easy as putting on a pair of magical boots. They disagree on whether the goal is even believable, let alone a good idea.
“The lesson is be careful what you wish for,” Cherne said.
The production features a break dancing competition, a trip to the moon, and ballet lessons. Kaylyn Forkey, who plays a child, said the play is challenging. “You have to be on all the time,” she said. “You have to keep the kids engaged.”
“Everything has to be big for children,” Martin said. “You have to make everything you do very clear.”
I find this to be very cute and good that they are doing this for little kids, every little kid should learn that you should be careful what you wish for because you never know if it will actually come true.
