Simple,
witty dialogue keeps
the play moving quickly from Village
to Castle. All
roles have names and personalities so
that every child can be a significant
part of the production.
Without
songs, this script keeps
it simple while delivering spectacular
results. The soundtrack
(background sound effects) CD adds a professional
touch! |

"There
are so many things I love about your plays.
The scripts are funny
and so easy to memorize that even my
students who struggle in English class can be stars
in front of adoring crowds,
and the expanded casts allow my shy
students to blossom without
fear of failure. The scripts also suggest simple
sets, props, and costumes that allow us
to produce joyous,
life-filled plays on a budget that excludes
no one."
