(GALLOWAY, NJ) -- Award-winning storyteller, comedian and author Kelly Swanson will have audiences at the Stockton University Performing Arts Center in side-splitting laughter for her show titled “Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale?” on Saturday, March 25. The event begins at 7:30pm.

Step into the magical, heartwarming and incredibly funny journey of a wayward Southern belle who went from being a shy child who tried to be invisible, to a tacky woman who just won't shut up.

Swanson will have you laughing your way through her twisted journey to a happier ever after. And just when you least expect it, your heart will get tugged on.

But the true magic of this show isn't just the comedy and the stories. It's a show that's also about you. As you walk through Kelly's story, you find yourself standing in your own, and realizing that it's not too late to find your own happier ever after. Grab your girlfriends and share the experience in one colossal girls' night out. Because it's never too late to write a new ending to your fairy tale.

Tickets also are available at the Stockton Performing Arts Center box office from 10:00am to 3:00pm Tuesday through Friday, and 90 minutes before showtime.
