is ashamed of how subservient the women in Fairytale Land behave,

in, though, and soon finds herself the one in need of help. Prince

To
Please a Prince!
Two
Acts. One Hour and Fifteen Minutes
Two Interior Sets
Twenty-five Characters: 6 M, 19 F
order
Princess Pearl
is called Perversity behind her back, as she doesn’t think
or act like the other princesses whose lives totally revolve around,
“pleasing a prince.”
Prince Vladamire
is called Flibbet behind his back because he’s a flibbetty-gibbet
who doesn’t act like the horseback-riding, sword-wielding
princes.
When
Perversity and Flibbet unexpectedly meet, the peaceful kingdom finds
itself torn asunder. The two of them unite and everyone soon takes
sides.
The
madames quickly find themselves in the middle of the dilemma, instead
of happily teaching the princesses how to bake and sing and knit,
much to their very very very loud dismay.
And,
peasant girl Roxanne’s personality change from bubbling and
carefree to brooding and irritable adds even more worry to all who
adore her.
After
numerous bouts of tears and tantrums, everyone in the kingdom finally
accepts the fact that what’s gone on “before”
isn’t necessarily the “only way,” and all live
“happily ever after.” |

The
Toymaker!
One Act. One Hour
One Interior Set (two apron scenes)
Eighteen Characters: 6 M, 8 F, 4 M or F
(1 walk-on female child role)
order
It’s the
year 2015. Excellento and Perfectrina Toymaker have just returned
to their Toy Shop in the United States after five years of visiting
their other shops in the world, only to discover that all is not
as they had left it.
While the Toymakers
were gone, their Artisans were tricked into allowing Mister and
Missus Run-of-the-Mill to build a fast-toy factory, which is slowly
ruining the natural terrain of Toy Land. And even worse, it’s
depriving the American children of the joy of playing with quality,
handmade toys, as their parents aren’t interested in purchasing
long lasting toys, any longer.
Junior
is on a quest to find the Toymaker. His older sister, Sis is tagging
along to make sure he doesn’t get lost. When Junior and Sis
are confronted by Run-of-the-Mill’s two spoiled children,
Mitsy and Bitsy, they quickly realize there’s trouble in paradise.
Excellento
and Perfectrina Toymaker and the Artisans eventually restore Toy
Land back to normal with the help of Junior, Sis and their little
sister, Babe, while the Run-of-the-Mill’s are reported to
the Environmental Protection Agency. Rightly so.
