Fall Play

The Epic Quest of the Damsels in Distress

Our Fall Play will be Rotten Apples by Tracy Wells

A group of villains, including the Evil Queen, Wicked Stepmother, and Big Bad Wolf, and some familiar faces with dubious morals, like Little Red Riding Hood and Pinocchio, are locked in a mansion on a dark and stormy night. Their only means of escape is helping Prince Charming figure out the name of a mischievous imp who has his eyes set on a gasp-inducing treasure. As they begin to unravel the mystery before the midnight deadline, the storm knocks out the power in the mansion, and in a twist, some of the guests get knocked out, too. Will anyone be left to crack the riddle of the imp's name and escape?
