A couple's journey in search of a child takes them through strange landscapes in this whimsical fairy tale written by Tyler Mills and narrated with crystalline precision by Emily King. The always versatile Tyler Michaels gets plenty of chances to demonstrate his range in several roles, including an adventure-seeking child and a hard-bitten workman, while onstage musician Derek Trost provides a lovely musical counterpoint. Unfortunately, the script offers Debra Berger and Mills less opportunity to enliven the roles of the parents, although both offer up solid performances. (5:30 p.m. Mon., 5:30 p.m. Fri., 5:30 p.m. Sat., 5:30 p.m. Sun., Illusion Theater, 528 Hennepin Av. S.)
