Aurand Harris’ “A Toby Show” brings back to the stage an American folk character -- Toby, the country bumpkin who through honesty and homespun humor outwits the city slickers. This farce-melodrama recreates with traditional situations and stock characters a wild-west version of the Cinderella story.  With songs and specialty numbers, the production excitingly evokes a Toby Show for children of all ages.
