The curtain goes up Saturday on the Santa Monica Playhouse’s latest production, “Mary-Mary, Quite Contrary,” which is being dubbed as a heartwarming fairytale musical for kids from age 2 to 102. The story depicts a young girl who cannot decide if she is too old to believe in fairytales. The story sees a host of colorful characters land in Suburbia, U.S.A., and confront the miracles and mysteries of modern living, stressing the importance of family togetherness.
Be warned: The audience is asked to participate. Written and directed by Chris Decarlo and Evelyn Rudie, “Mary-Mary” runs for four weeks, Saturdays and Sundays, at 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m.
