PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Fairy tales come to life this weekend at St. Joseph's High School.

Students will be staging "The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon," a fast-paced ride through the stories of the Brothers Grimm.

The play was written by Don Zolidis and is directed by Eric Barriere and Tess Daly.


It will star St. Joe student actors who will attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like "Snow White," "Cinderella" and "Hansel and Gretel," to more bizarre, obscure stories like "The Devil's Grandmother" and "The Girl Without Hands."

This free-form comedy will include lots of audience participation and madcap fun.

The general public is invited to performances on Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, April 12, at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $10 for adults and $5 for students/seniors.
