An Elite Squad

"In the fairy tale criminal justice system, the characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes are represented by two separate yet equally ridiculous groups: the fairy tale police who investigate the fairy tale crime, and the fairy tale district attorneys who prosecute the fairy tale offenders. These are their stories."...

These are their stories." Cla-clung! Law & Order for kids? Really? Awesome! And there's another twist! When the Centerstage Campers at Theatre Arlington present Law & Order: Fairy Tale Unit, all the performers, who are between the ages 8 and 15, audition the first day of camp, and then learn their lines and blocking and mount the entire show in one week. Sort of like a Rock Lottery mixed with Law & Order, but for kids! Wacky! Oh, and check this out: Tickets are only five dollars. What more could you possibly want?! Two performances a day? Cla-clung! Law & Order: Fairy Tale Unit closes Thursday with performances at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Theatre Arlington is located at 305 W. Main St. in Arlington. Tickets may be purchased over the phone by calling 817-275-7661. Visit theatrearlington.org for more information.
