Pack your imagination and set sail with The Shoestring Players as they take you on a magnificent journey through Germany, Norway, Ireland, and Quebec. The adventure begins in Germany with THE WATER OF LIFE, where a young son sets out to find the magic elixir that will save his dying father. Your next stop is Norway where we meet THE GIANT WHO HAD NO HEART IN HIS BODY, and the prince who must help him find it.  Then it’s off Ireland to hear the tale of THE LASS WHO WENT OUT WITH THE CRY OF DAWN, a stubborn Irish girl who is determined to save her sister from the spell of the wicked Mischanter. The final destination on your voyage is Quebec for the story of Tante Odette and the SKUNK IN THE OVEN. It’s here you’ll meet our hero Renè, the only person in town smart enough to outwit the malodorous mischief maker.
