In this darkly comedic musical, the true life of Danny Tanner and is family is exposed; promises will be broken, sinister paths explored, lives may be lost, and yes, songs will be sung. Whether you're a member of the Full House fan club or scoff in a superior fashion when you hear someone utter "Cut It Out"; you will find both a touch of nostalgia and an illuminating light shining brightly on the Tanners' most clandestine realities. Come see the Tanners as you've never seen them before. Attend the Tale.
Produced by GTT.
Wednesdays in June at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 and available here.
