Join us and travel back to a simpler time, when fairy tales were weird and Disney didn't own half the titles! We will raucously roar through four classic fairy tales, including:

-Rumplestiltskin, in which a miller spins a lie that his daughter can spin gold, and she's caught in a ludicrous deal spun by an elf with a wild name.

-Red Riding Hood, the original "stranger danger" tale, complete with baked goods, a hungry wolf, and a trip through the woods not soon forgotten.

-Jack and the Beanstalk, which follows the adventure of a young boy who sold his cow for beans, and ended up with a pile of gold and the head of a giant.

-Cinderella, the classic princess story of true love, good triumphing over evil, and the importance of secure footwear.

Take classic stories, chop them up, add hilarious improv and throw in a few drinks . . . what could be better?

One performer, picked via audience vote, will consume a few adult beverages to start the show. Donations will be accepted to give a "rule" that a selected actor must follow for the rest of the scene OR until the next donation is made and a new "rule" is imposed! The "rules" are drawn at random from various categories and will consist of different improv-type suggestions that the actor must perform while staying in character, such as performing with a specific accent (i.e., an angry Scotsman or a heavy smoker) or physical actions (i.e., an itch you can't reach or one of your legs has fallen asleep).

(Audition information is subject to change)

Character Advisory: All characters participate in physicality related to "slapstick" comedy.
