The circle round episode you're about to hear was one of three episodes recorded live

at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It featured members

of the Boston Symphony Orchestra plus an all-star cast and a terrific audience of very

enthusiastic kids and grownups. It was so great to circle round with a live audience again

and we hope to appear on stage again soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the story!

Think about a time you faced a difficult task. Maybe you had to work on a complicated

project. You had to clean your very cluttered room. Did you wish you could just press a

button and find instant success? In the story we're about to hear, that's pretty much

what one of the characters wishes he could do. But when he tries it, he realizes he is

in way over his head. I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle round live at Tanglewood

in Lennox, Massachusetts. Today our story is called Look a Like Fals.

Versions of this folk tale originally come from Mexico. Joining me on stage is an amazing

quintet of all-star actors, Karen Allen, Megan Boone, Scott Cohen, Marie Heller and Peter

Gert and providing musical accompaniment is a world-class trio from the Boston Symphony

Orchestra, Rachel Childers on Horn, Cindy Myers on Flute and Suzanne Nelson on Bessoon.
