What really happened after all the once upon a times? You’ll find out in this fun, fractured fairy tale! A substitute narrator is called in on short notice to present stories from a stack of fairy tale books. But just as each tale begins its ”once upon a time,” the main characters show up to interrupt and correct the newbie narrator’s telling of their story. Turns out, these characters have backstories nobody could have predicted: Rapunzel is an insufferable diva, Cinderella is a clean freak, the Three Little Pigs are hypochondriacs, Little Red Riding Hood is a lawyer defending the Wolf, and more! The chaos continues until the frustrated narrator finally breaks down. It’s up to the characters to comfort the narrator and explain what really happened after “once upon a time.”

October 15-18

KIDS' TALENT SPOTLIGHT

Do you sing? Do you dance? Do you play an instrument?

Would you like to do a monologue or twirl a baton or perform martial arts or tell jokes?

How about puppets or reciting poetry? How about imitating someone famous?

The talent showcase is scheduled for October 15-October 18 at Magnolia Arts Center.
