“Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale Of Split Ends” in May
Fairy Tales in the Park, presented by Children’s Dental Group by Gypsies in a Trunk, will 
begin their 17th season of free Fairy Tales in the Park in May with, “Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale of Split Ends.” It’s all about the vegetables.
When Frank takes the witch’s prized vegetables to feed his pregnant wife, Maggie, Grizzelda, the witch, zaps the couple and steals their daughter Rapunzel, and then shuts her up in the highest tower in the land.
Sixteen years later Rapunzel is getting bored and suspicious about her “mother” and wants to see the world. Enter Prince Bob Charming and his faithful steed, Fred. Together, they try to free the trapped girl and are instantly on the run when the witch returns to find her stolen daughter gone.
