Come be a part of an original family musical written and directed by a local playwright. This is a unique opportunity to participate in the creative process of a new show, and we are looking for performers who want to contribute their energy, enthusiasm, and talent to make this a fantastic production!
The spirited princess has been kidnapped, and her friend, the court jester, is leading a cowardly thief, a clumsy page and the disguised king to rescue her. Through forest and cave, past a dragon and kidnappers, this band of unlikely heroes seeks princess, adventure, love and a happy ending in this funny, heart-warming family musical.
Cast consists of 7 men, 3 women, and an ensemble who will sing, dance, and may act as puppeteers. Character descriptions can be found at http://www.tacon.net/jester.
