Wheeler-dealer Fox; an eccentric, retired Woodland Air Force General Owl; and the maraca-shaking, party animal Snake.   Rather than becoming the main course of their next meal, Mouse kills their appetites with stories of an imaginary monster friend.  Little does this clever critter know but Mouse will have to escape the jaws of this faux protector as well.    Tall Stories vibrantly reinvents this delightful tale through its signature style of bold, multifaceted storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>   All seats are $7.00 each and can be obtained by calling 314-921-5678 or www.FlorisasntMO.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether their favorite food is roasted fox, owl ice cram, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble, audiences eat up this delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators.
