A FAIRLY TALL ADVENTURE – ADVENTURE PLAYS FOR KIDS

Children’s Comedy/Fantasy. Cindy and Jack Reiley spend an evening at home with their step-sitter (a substitute baby sitter). Jack makes a board game for them to play and, as they play, they notice strange things happening; fairy tale characters appear, spells are cast, and it seems the only way to set things right and get rid of the unwanted house guests is to finish the game before their parents come home. An adorable cast of unusual characters make this an exciting comedy the whole family will love.
