Alice in Wonderland

When Chris climbs into his Grandmother's attic and blows upon a magic ocarina, the mysterious Storyteller and his many spirits and elves appear. But Chris is in for a surprise when the Storyteller sends Chris (and his trusty cat Keara) into the fable as the little tailor himself! Chris doesn't feel very brave to begin with, but once he encounters a not-so-bright giant, the royal court, two vain dragons, a mysterious unicorn and the dreaded Swamp Monster, perhaps he'll learn where bravery comes from. The furniture of Grandmother's attic becomes all of the locales in this comic adventure for young audiences. 40-60 minutes. 2-20+ males, 2-20+ females (13-30 performers possible). Ideal for elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.

Brave Little Tailor

This fresh adaptation of the well-known English tale combines characters and elements from several medieval texts and gives it all a modern twist, emphasizing a community of heroes (men AND women) rather than a one-man approach to heroism. Robin Hood and his friends—the hulking barbarian Little John, the kindhearted Friar Tuck, the sharpshooting woman-in-man’s clothing Scarlet, the jovial minstrel Alan-a-Dale and the retired soldier David of Duncaster—band together to save the poor people of Nottingham from unjust taxation and poverty at the hands of Prince John and his long-suffering yet cruel Sheriff. Two gypsy orphans, Maid Marion’s handmaiden and a mysterious stranger share a secret that could win the day—or see Robin hanged by morning! 60-70 minutes. 9-30 males, 6-24 females (18-40+ performers possible). Ideal for middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.

Robin Hood and the Heroes of Sherwood Forest

Two young wizard-storytellers compete to become Fantasists—honorable illusionists whose stories come to life. We'll meet a prince, an evil ice queen, a formidable snow lion, a rambunctious sun wolf and the Gnome-Who-Lives-in-a-Lake-but-Doesn't-Know-Why. But as perky Floriad and win-at-all-costs Somnia, forced to work together in their final test, see their tale (hilariously) fall apart, it will take every storytelling twist the acolytes know—and a few smuggled in from their mentors—to get through this ultimate battle of magic and storytelling. 45-55 minutes. 1-8 males, 2-9 females (10 performers total). Ideal for middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.

The Fantasists

Seven maidens wait impatiently in the treasure room of the Sultan to hear which of them he has chosen for his bride. Each princess, from a different exotic country, has spent exactly one moonlit evening with the Sultan, but days have passed with no word. When the Sultan’s attendant bursts in with an hourglass and declares that the Sultan’s decision will be known once the sand has completely fallen, the maidens agree to pass the final minutes by enacting the tale of Aladdin, a tale each claims as her country's own. Filled with magic, adventure, intrigue and romance, this all-female version of the classic story packs a powerful message of empowering young women to fulfill their own wishes. 50-60 minutes. 9 females. Ideal for middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.

The Mystic Tale of Aladdin

We all have ghosts that haunt us. Do we run from them or hunt them down? The characters in The Ghost Moments—some young, some not-so-young, each from a very different walk of life—exist in their own worlds, all of them hunting or being hunted. Some of their ghosts are literal: Matty tries to rid his sister's apartment of a spirit that may or may not be there, Zachary prepares his bunker for the zombie apocalypse. Others are metaphorical: Marianne's absent father, Bethany's lost innocence, Caroline's memories of water, Michael's lost afternoons of love, Carver's secret powers. As we witness hauntings and exorcisms through a series of monologues, this group of characters and their loves, longings, joy and pain, will haunt us long after the curtain falls. 45-70 minutes (45-55 minutes, with up to 15 minutes of optional additional monologues). 1-10 females, 1-5 males (2-15 performers possible). Ideal for high schools, youth theatres, universities, and community theatres.
