Will he fall victim to the curse, or can he save himself and the village too? Find out in this hilarious adventure featuring James Byous, Parvesh Cheena, Cat Davis, Nina Genatossio, Juliane Hagn, Hank Jacobs, Derek Manson, Brendan Mulally, Jason Paige, Diane Renee, Beth Robbins, Robyn Roth, Bolor Saruul, Jack Sharpe and Clare Snodgrass. Ron West directs, music direction is by Jan Roper, and choreography is by Louisa Kendrick Burton.
