Piccolo Theatre Ensemble combines Commedia dell’arte and Panto traditions in this reworked classic Italian fairy tale about a boy who needs to laugh and love.  An evil witch curses the miserable Prince Tartaglia to go on a quest for three giant oranges.  The once-lonely prince encounters wizards, trickery, talking animals, monarchs, finding friendship and love in the most unexpected of places.  Featuring wildly raucous physical comedy, infectious songs and dances, and fanciful characters you’ll remember forever, this highly interactive adventure story leaps off the stage and into your heart.
