“Legends are not born — they are made.”
— Adapted from oral storytelling traditions

Step into a world of heroes, monsters, magic, and unforgettable tales as young performers bring Legends & Lore to life!

Created by students in Wandering Aesthetics’ two-week Summer Theatre Intensive, this original ensemble performance explores the power of storytelling through myths, legends, and folklore. Featuring epic quests, hilarious twists, terrifying creatures, and stories unlike anything you’ve heard before, audiences will journey through a world where every storyteller has a chance to change the fate of a kingdom.

From fractured fairy tales to legendary heroes, students have spent two weeks devising, rehearsing, and building a bold theatrical experience rooted in imagination, collaboration, and creative risk-taking.

Join us for this free public performance and celebrate the next generation of storytellers!

Performances are free and open to the public, but registration is required.

ABOUT MONSTER FARM

As daylight fades and shadows begin stretching across the sheep fields, join Wandering Aesthetics for Monster Farm, an intimate storytelling experience set beneath the evening sky at The Spicy Lamb Farm.

Featuring storytellers Kyle Jozsa and Benjamin Rexroad, Monster Farm is a two-person performance weaving together three terrifyingly entertaining (and occasionally hilarious) tales of monsters. Through vivid storytelling, playful banter, and the chemistry developed through years of creating (and living) together, the duo invites audiences into a world where creatures lurk at the edges of the woods, strange things stir in the dark, and laughter often arrives right alongside the chills.

Part ghost story gathering, part campfire tale, and part theatrical event, Monster Farm embraces the timeless tradition of people coming together to share stories after the sun goes down.

AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE

Audience members are encouraged to arrive around 8:00 PM to enjoy the farm before the performance begins. Spend some time visiting with the animals, enjoying a drink, exploring the grounds, and chatting with the performers before the sun slips below the horizon and storytelling begins around 8:45 PM.

Please note that The Spicy Lamb Farm is a working farm, so expect all of the wonderful realities that come with that experience — animals, nature, uneven terrain, and the occasional surprise.

Audience members are encouraged to bring blankets for comfort, and bug spray if desired. A porta-potty will be available on-site.

Expect an evening filled with mystery, humor, imagination, and a few monsters you may find yourself thinking about long after you leave.

TICKET INFORMATION

Tickets for Monster Farm are available as Pay-What-You-Want at the door. Audience members are encouraged to reserve seats in advance at watheatre.com/tickets or by calling (330) 612-3090.
