| Hi-ya-ya-hi-ya. Listen to the tom-tom drums and the message spoken by the "Woodspinner" that opens and closes this charming adventure suitable for all age groups. The favorite daughter of the chief plays with forest animals and also makes friends with the English settlers in the struggling community of Jamestown. When Captain John Smith visits the Indian village to seek food, he is condemned to death. It is Princess Pocahontas who saves his life and finds a way for the Indians and settlers to live in harmony and friendship.

Legend of Pocahontas
By Vera Morris |
| An evil baron who can't stand goodness, laughter, and even the faintest glimmer of light tries to destroy the luminosity of a beautiful princess who glows when things go well and dims when things go badly. DIMWIT, suitably named but kind, believes that people can overcome all obstacles if they work together. To save the princess, he seeks help from friends, enemies, and audience members. Three silly ladies in waiting and three not too bright knights assist DIMWIT in involving every child in the play's plot.

The Dark Castle
By Sally Netzel |
| Cinderella and her twin brother Bob (RIGHT - this is NOT your traditional fairy tale) live apart in the same kingdom with two different wicked step families. Forbidden to attend the festivities of Winchwood-under-ooze, the siblings are aided by a fairy godmother and godfather to fulfill their desires. A hilarious send-up of "Cinderella"; this play will delight children with not only the foot that fits the glass slipper but also for the muddy cleat. Laugh your head off with hilarity!

Twinderella
By Charlie Lovett |
| The author my be unknown but the story isn't. And this play is the traditional presentation of that beloved fairy tale. Hated for her beauty by the wicked queen, snow white is sent into the forest where she comes upon the home of the seven dwarfs. Each of the little men has his own personality, but all agree that Snow White can stay with them and they will protect her. A very gentle and loving portrayal of a much loved classic.

Snow White
Author Unknown |
| The Beloved classic tells the story of a world weary aviator whose malfunctioning plane strands him on the Sahara Desert. When a mysterious, regal little boy appears and asks him to draw a sheep, the aviator is distracted from his crisis and unaware that he is about to have a transforming experience that will provide a new understanding of how to laugh, cry and love again. Sweet and sensitive. Now a major motion picture.
