SYNOPSIS
Your host
Mark Twain introduces American Classics in storytelling and tall
tales. Fantasy Theatre Factory performers add their own TALL dose of
imagination as they act out stories which illustrate early American
humor, determination, and ingenuity. Native American Legends,
folktales, Appalachian tales, and other stories were chosen for their
regional appeal and their stylistic differences.
