Once again, the Hays Arts Council is bringing back Jay and Leslie Cady—known as “Laughing Matters”—for an exciting, entertaining and educational program from Sept. 17 through 21.

This year, they’ll bring a new interactive school literacy program entitled “Tales with a Point: Fables and Fairy Tales.”

Their 45-minute performance will bring fables and fairly tales to life as they help children analyze the stories by identifying characters, settings, plots, and morals. The Cadys will use theatricality, humor, circus skills and audience participation to create unique versions of four well-known stories.  

Full-time professional entertainers since 1980, Jay and Leslie Cady have performed more than 6,000 times in 36 states and seven foreign counties. These Kansas City artists are highly acclaimed, bringing a special brand of entertainment and education to their programs.  

For this year’s public performance, the Hays Arts Council has arranged for Laughing Matters to participate in Early Childhood Connection’s “Go Truck, Go!” event on Thursday, Sept. 20 with their roving performances taking place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the National Guard Armory in Hays.
