A Faery Hunt Adventure

Auntie Angelica Root from A Faery Hunt
Taking a full house of children and their parents on an adventure through Faeryland on Sunday were characters like Auntie Angelica Root (pictured above), King Luke and Fauni -- colorful creatures from a local kid-favorite show, A Faery Hunt.

Just like the weekend before, this past Sunday was incredibly rainy, so the interactive performance was staged indoors at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. Many of the Faery Hunt shows are performed outdoors (Griffith Park, Crestwood Hills Park), but the intimate theater was a cute alternative.

CC and I met friends Amy and her daughter, Aubrey (whom you might know from this popular show), and the two girls almost immediately ditched us for seats near the stage. (I don't blame them!)

The faeries invited the kids to sing, dance, ask questions and listen to a story about a small bud that wouldn't grow. While Auntie Angelica Root spoke in rhymes, she also sang along with the other faeries, as they tried water and jokes to make the little bud emerge from the soil.

The show was adorable and (little) kid-friendly. There seemed to be a couple of technical difficulties -- that bud was being particularly stubborn -- but there were also lots of laughs and cute kids getting into the spirit with faery wings and tutus (CC and Aubrey included). I'd love to see what the outdoor performance is like.

When the show was over, kids flooded the stage en masse, as the actors gladly signed autographs. Then came the actual flood, as we looked outside and saw the river formerly known as Ventura Boulevard.
