Review by Kathy Pinkus

HOBART — Waffle Tall Stories are back. There are not many things that are environmentally safe and have dragons and wild adventure. Waffle Tall Stories are adult fairy tales with real experiences woven with metaphor.

After two years on the road, this show is still magical and fun. It is gentle story telling. Adults love it because of its wit. It combines absurdity with dilemma, and somehow there are answers.

The storyteller, Waterfall, says, "In this cyberspace world people look for bright lights and skyscrapers. Waffle is about bringing simplicity and imagination back into life." He will soon be taking Waffle Tall Stories on a tour of other states, beginning in March. Local poet Michael Ariston will be making a guest appearance.
