Our Family Holiday Show
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER ONCE UPON A TIME?
By Alexi Alfieri

While reading a stack of fairy tales, the narrator is interrupted as each tale begins. Turns out, the main characters have hysterical idiosyncrasies. There’s plenty of chaos until each character explains what really happened after “once upon a time.”

Directed by Jennifer Sparks

NEEDED: AGES 8 and up
SHOW DATES: December 8-17

Auditions are cold readings from the script. No preparation needed.
