A Toby Show brings back to the stage the American folk character Toby, a country bumpkin who, through naiveté, honesty and homespun humor, outwits the city slickers. Starring in “Cinderella,” Toby and friends mix fairy tale with farce and melodrama to create family friendly fun. A Toby show is filled with bits and jokes, much like our Parking Lot Plays melodrama last summer.
