La Strada Ensemble Theater presents The Fairy Plays, six interconnected plays by A.J. Ciccotelli, on Friday August 18 at 8pm, Saturday August 19 at 8pm, and Sunday August 20th at 2pm (with a Q&A with cast, director and playwright) at Jersey Shore Arts Center (Herbst Theater on 3rd Floor), 66 South Main Street in Ocean Grove.

Consisting of six one acts centered on unexpected reveals, revenge, coming out of the closet, marriage and redemption. The Fairy Plays asks pointed questions like, "Can a fairy go to A.A.?"; "Can mortals and fairies change powers?"; "Is my daddy a fairy?"; and, "can mortals go to Fairyland after they die?"

The play centers on Emperina the Queen of the Fairies who couples with a mortal and produces three half-fairy/human children. Banished from Fairyland, Emperina tries to make amends to her father so her children can be restored to full fairy status and humans can go to Fairyland after they die.

The Fairy Plays explores the themes of what makes us human and what makes us greater than the sum of all our parts, says playwright and artistic director of La Strada Ensemble Theater A.J. Ciccotelli. He adds that the play is also sheer fun because these are definitely the stories your Kindergarten Teacher never told you. So put on those pairs of wings and take out that magic wand, close your eyes, adjust your fishnets and make a wish!
