(ST CHARLES) It’s St. Patrick’s Day! Vero Voce is
proud to present "Blather, Blarney and Balderdash", Folk
and Fairy Tales from the Emerald Isle! Three hilarious and action-packed Irish folk
and fairy tales collide in raucous laughter when a trio of wild and crazy
leprechauns try to help tongue-tied shepherd Fin O’Grady learn to tell a story
and win the hand of his one true love. Assisted by the wee folk of
Ireland, Blather, Blarney and Balderdash enact ’The Hunchback of Knockgrafton,’
in which a simple man’s gentle nature wins him an unexpected prize and a cruel
counterpart learns that it’s not a good idea to mess with little people.
In ’The Griffin’s Feather,’ young Aidan bravely encounters a sneezing girl, a
frenzied farmer and a bombastic boatman before snatching three feathers from a
hen-pecked griffin in order to cure a sleeping beauty. In ’The Bird, the Mouse and the Cricket,’ a courageous lass and
three magical animals risk their necks to help a sour prince regain his lost
laughter. At last, the shy Fin discovers that a story is a treasure that
increases the more you share it.
"Blather, Blarney and
Balderdash" is directed by student
directors under the guidance of Vero Voce's Theatrical Artistic Director, the
show features the talents of Riley Brutto, Macey Buckman, Morgan
