Big Fish play @ Goppert Theater (Avila)

Students. ages 7-19,  from The Culture House School of Theater Performance in Olathe will perform the play Big Fish.

The play’s story shifts between two timelines. In the present-day real world, sixty-year-old Edward Bloom faces his mortality while his son, Will, prepares to become a father himself. In the storybook past, Edward ages from a teenager, encountering a Witch, a Giant, a Mermaid, and the love of his life, Sandra. The stories meet as Will discovers the secret his father never revealed. The story has drawn comparisons to The Odyssey, The Music Man, and The Wizard of Oz.
