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.

Content Advisory: This production contains mature language and content intended for adult audiences, as well as brief mentions of death and murder. This production is themed around the consumption of alcohol.

NOTES:
- No member of the cast will be chosen as "the drunk" for consecutive performances.
- Transportation for "the drunk" will be provided.
- Players must be able to consume alcohol* and be of legal drinking age.
*Though the nature and atmosphere of this production center around the imbibing of adult beverages, individuals who practice sober living are encouraged to audition. Accommodations can and will be made in casting those who practice sober living.

This event is a fundraiser for 3rd Act Theatre Company. Stipends are determined nightly from a collection and split amongst the cast for each performance.
