Synopsis: 

In the Fall of 2021, ESL Theater brought you “Bedtime Stories as Told by our Dad – Who Was Silly”. Now we present the next play in the series: "Bestest Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Grandpa) (He's Silly)"

Grandpa's a little out of practice when it comes to babysitting, but if he's ever going to get his bouncy grandkids to sleep, he must remember some bedtime stories fast. Or at least something pretty close to them. Meet the Witch who lives in a house made of broccoli, the magical fairies Lipitor and Miralax, and Jack who climbs a beanstalk — and needs a little help from the stage crew to get down. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Grandpa tells them.
