Nathan Dale Short in Emporia State production of 'The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales'

2016 Jul 19

Nathan Dale Short of Paola, Kansas, is part of the cast and crew presenting "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales," the final show of the 62nd season of ESU Summer Theatre. Though the characters may be familiar, this charming family comedy by John Glore retells favorite storybook fables with uproariously derailed makeovers.

Seven actors tell the stories of Chicken Little, The Gingerbread Man and everything in between. Fun music and witty narration accompany the likes of ineloquent giants, sassy barnyard animals, colossal cow pies and enough stinky cheese to go around.

Short, a senior theatre major, is Actor 6.

"The Stinky Cheese Man" is under the direction of Dan Matisa. Assisting with the production are technical director Chris Lohkamp, scenic designer Eric Luchen and costume designer Kelsey Patterson.

The Stinky Cheese Man runs July 27 through 29 at 7:30 pm, with a special matinee performance on Saturday, July 30 at 2 p.m. All performances will be in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre located at 1301 Market St. For tickets to this production, visit the Memorial Union Ticket Office or call 620-341-6378.
