A
delightful, satirical musical with gentle
humour, and perfect for a big cast. the
heroines or many familiar stories have gotten
together to voice their complaints to the
town mayor, along with lawyers for the three
little pigs union, and the seven dwarves,
who now prefer the term, “height-challenged”.
Easy to stage and a good balance of lines
for everyone, as well as a supportive message
about the power of being a girl, make “fairy
tale town meeting” a positive and very manageable
show to produce! Approximate running time:
30 minutes
This

who are too bored and cool to ever laugh.
Their mother, the queen, elicits help from
several magical characters, resulting in
many silly and entertaining moments along
the way. a flexible cast, excellent balance
of lines, and little need for elaborate
costumes or props, make this play easy,
enjoyable and quite engaging for all audiences.

talking
Pigs, nosy neighbors, slow-witted farmers
and even a drama queen inhabit this charming
tale that reveals the true reason behind
the demise of the pigs' house. Lots of physical
activity, lots of lines for everyone, and
a sparse need for sets or props, make this
musical fully presentable with a snap of
the hooves -- or fingers! Approximate running
time: 15 minutes
written
In the form of a skit, with lots of repetition,
this short musical play allows kids to name
themselves, develop their own character
voices, and learn the essence of cooperation
and relying on one another. We find a bunch
of kids at the movies, as several of them
try unsuccessfully to get to the popcorn
before everyone has finished it off. Gentle
humour, short lines, and very little need
for props or costumes result in a very manageable
and entertaining show. Approximate running
time: 10 minutes

An engaging and clever take-off on the famous
nursery rhyme, this play gives kids a great
chance to learn timing, stepping on lines,
flow, as well as just have a great time!

and requires very little in the way of props
or scenery. Approximate running time: 15
minutes

A
lively and witty play which provides children
an opportunity to explore slapstick and
timing. Characters are unnamed so that students
can name themselves if they wish, and the
development of characters is purposefully
left open so that kids can breathe their
own life into them. There are many opportunities
for bits, and business, in this play. Props
and scenery are unnecessary, and because
it is an ensemble piece, it is quick to
rehearse and perfect. Approximate running
time: 15 minutes
