The Stinky Cheese Man Opens May 27!

**Jdarg** · 05-21-2008, 06:16 AM

SCROLL DOWN FOR A SUMMARY OF THE PLAY

Based on the beloved book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the irreverent parody gives classic fairy tales a wickedly delightful twist. What do you get when you take classic fairy tales and turn them on their head? According to The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, the Ugly Duckling grows up to be A Really Ugly Duck, Cinderella snubs Rumpelstiltskin, and the Princess kisses a frog only to end up with a mouthful of slime. Intertwined throughout the show, the zany takes on traditional fairy tales are sure to delight audiences of all ages.

First published in 1992, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales quickly became a favorite family book. Featuring cheeky, fractured fairy tales by Jon Scieszka and vibrant, fantastical illustrations by Lane Smith, the book was designated as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1993.

I tried it make this post even bigger, but ran out of room on my screen.

But now that y'all have the whole web page- go to the Rep schedule and look at the other summer productions and the schedule for the rest of the year!

We are entirely too excited for Stinky Cheese!! (I never thought I would say something like this!)

**Beach Bimmer** · 05-21-2008, 07:29 AM

Any more posters available? They forgot to bring one by Fired Up! Oh, and you-know-who even works at the Rep...

**Smiling JOe** · 05-21-2008, 09:52 AM

Thanks for the info. We need to check on the last show, because it has it listed as Tuesdays, ending Aug 11, but Aug 11 is a Monday.

Cannot wait to see this!

**Jdarg** · 05-26-2008, 05:11 PM

Woo hoo! The much anticipated Stinky Cheese Man opens tomorrow night.

A little bird (that happens to live in our house) told me that it is hilarious and that young AND old will be loving it!

**Jdarg** · 05-27-2008, 12:34 PM

See y'all at Watercolor for some Stinky Cheese- tonight!! Bring your own picnic blankets, chairs, and popcorn!

**Kase626** · 05-27-2008, 03:26 PM

Congrats to the Rep for another fine production. Stinky Cheese Man was a lot fo fun for adults and kids alike. If you missed it, you gotta catch the next go 'round.

**Smiling JOe** · 05-28-2008, 12:11 AM

Wow! I wasn't expecting there to be more people at Stinky Cheese... than the crowd at the Neville Bros. You never know around here. (okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not by much.)

Great performance! I may have to go read all of those fairy tales to put it all together. COWPIE!

**Jdarg** · 05-28-2008, 07:09 AM

Well, my summer schedule is shaping up. I now know that every Tuesday evening will be spent at Watercolor, relaxing on the grass, while Kate and assorted little girlfriends are mesmerized by this play. I know I can watch this over and over and it will be hilarious every time...

I will be spending some time today looking into cow patty merch....cow patty- the theme of summer 2008!

The director, actors, and crew did an excellent job- once again, I am wowed by the talent at the Rep, and we are lucky to have such a fantastic professional theater.

See y'all next Monday for Sleeping Beauty, and again on Tuesday for that new local bad boy, The Stinky Cheese Man!

PS- If you would like a promo poster for these plays at your business, please PM me and I will deliver it!

**John R** · 06-03-2008, 09:01 AM

See you tonight.

**totaljen** · 06-03-2008, 04:40 PM

We'll definitely come one Tues. night! I love supporting local theatre ... not to mention the book is hilarious, so it can only be better in person!!

**kurt** · 06-03-2008, 04:58 PM

Please donate at the event, and/or buy a hat, season tickets, etc.

Holy moly, the crowd rushed the stage tonight! Seriously, it was crazy--Jenay even took a picture of the mayhem.

Enthusiastic fans, let's say.

Stinky Cheese Mosh Pit. It's going to be legendary by the end of the summer.

If we were still in Sowal, you know we'd be so there! Three Tuesday nights in a row wasn't enough--the kids and I were talking about it just last night, and the oldest Pea said, "It really is different every time you see it!" High praise from a jaded 15-year-old.

Yeah, crumbly cow patty - so it wouldn't work for a cow patty frisbee. It was a hot day, which does a number on a cow patty's texture and appearance. I stopped the car and made Will get out and snap the pics.

I'm sure he was thrilled!

Was great to see the Sowal folks, it was a fun night & great crowd, thanks for the support! I'm amazed that I still giggle like crazy at this show every week, you'd think sooner or later it would get old, but nope...

love the very last do-do song! I wish I had the words so we could sing it around the house.... perhaps some of you have them memorized by now? or have a video?

We also have a perfected "Opening Number" and the "Boo Hoo" song. I drove 1900 miles on our recent road trip- and I bet 1500 miles were spent singing Stinky Cheese Man songs.

What, this crowd didn't require any additional security? "SCM" is at its best when the stage is being rushed and a mosh pit forms!

Pre-show announcements and additional security measures are now in place to lessen the number of kids charging the stage.

We only had one "additional" kid last night (as in, a child that wasn't picked by the actor to come up on stage, but jumped up anyway), and I think the actor knew the kid, so it worked out OK.

he was adorable, and the actor handled it so perfectly! the parents were so embarrassed when the kid ran and jumped on the stage... but it turned out well and was so cute.

For you Tootsie...

Sung to the tune of "Camptown Races"
(Cowbell)
Cow patty fell on a bad boy's head, Doo-doo, doo-doo,
His hair turned brown and his face turned red, Oh da doo-doo day!
He yanked our chains like a rotten brat, Doo-doo, doo-doo,
So now he's wearing a cow-pie hat, Oh da doo-doo day!

Cried "cow patty" all night, cried "cow patty all day,
Cried "cow patty" til the cows came home, and pooped all our troubles away.

Now some kind of patties are good for you, Doo-doo, doo-doo,
Hamburger patties and peppermint too, Oh da doo-doo day!
We like tater patties and fish pattie pies, Doo-doo, doo-doo,
But cow patties only look good to the flies, Oh da doo-doo day!

(Slow)
Cried "cow patty" all night, cried "cow patty" all day,
Cried "cow patty" til the cows came home, and pooped all our troubles away!

**Jdarg** · 07-15-2008, 09:26 AM

Oh Wow! Here is the Stinky Cheese Man - he grew!!

**Jdarg** · 07-22-2008, 05:34 PM
