added, “They modernize these fa
vorite stories without ruining the
essential moral messages.” The
New York Times observed, “T'ime
less stories known to all children
should be opened up to speak to
every child. Why not make these
magical kingdoms ethnically di
verse places in which all children
canfeel welcome?” And the Chica
go Sun Times raved that the tales
“maintain a sense of humor and a
respect for kids.”
The 1995 season included “Jack
