The Kindleberger Summer Festival Youth Play was introduced in 1990, giving area youth an opportunity to participate in the magic of story telling on the stage! We are excited to present in 2022 the very appropriate youth production, Bedtime Stories (As Told by our Dad) (Who Messed Them Up), a nod to every parent who has had that bedtime experience when they’re completely out of gas and the kids don’t want to go to sleep! The youth production will be directed by Connar Klock, a first-time director for the Kindleberger Summer Festival. We welcome Connar to Kindleberger Park!
Play Synopsis: It’s Dad’s turn to tell his three rambunctious kids their bedtime stories, but when he gets fuzzy on the details, the classics get creative: a prince with a snoring problem spices up The Princess and The Pea, The Boy Who Cried Wolf cries dinosaur instead, and Rumpelstiltskin helps turn all that pesky gold into straw. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Dad tells them.
PERFORMANCE DATES are Wed-Fri, July 6-8 at 5:30pm, Sat, July 9 and Sun, July 10 at 3:30pm at The Stage in Kindleberger Park, Parchment, MI. Join us for one or five performances of a FREE family show for kids and adults alike! Lawn seating, bring chair or blanket, food vendors are on site to serve dinner or snacks for your pleasure! **No rain site for Stage performances.

Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon Season subscriptions and group sales now available by calling the Tibbits box office at 517.278.6029. Single tickets go on sale April 1, 2022. This classic comedy follows newlyweds Corie and Paul, who are over the moon to begin their life together in their new Manhattan apartment. Their small space, the six-flight climb, the busted heat, snow falling through the skylight, a surprise visit from Corie’s conservative widowed mother, and the antics of their eccentric bohemian neighbor, turn their life into comical discord.
