Wagon Wheels a-Rollin'
By Tim Kelly
Woe falls upon Chuck Wagon’s wagon train, stranded in the notorious Whistling Skull Rock crawling with villains and bandits! This fast-paced spoof of the Old West is filled with a goofy stable of hilarious characters: hero, Chuck Wagon; sweet heroine, Candy Cane; and the villainous crooked card dealer, Smiling Slade. The wagon train gets robbed by the mysterious outlaw known as “The Snake,” but Chuck is accused of being the bandit & proving his innocence isn’t easy. There’s Wild Bill Hiccup, the Hamm sisters, Señorita Juanita and Clagget’s evil ally, Sue Flay. Toss in an election for the town mayor, an old Spanish land grant, some Western entertainment and action, and audiences will be rollin’ in the aisle by the time the wagons start rollin’ out!

Pollyanna
adapted by Susan Parkman from the novel by Eleanor H. Porter
The classic tale of the greatest optimist of all time...Pollyanna. It’s the story how a little girl’s faith in her father’s promise — that you can find something good about anything that happens. Pollyanna becomes an orphan, and she is placed into the care of her pessimistic domineering aunt. Folks are always complaining, feeling sorry for themselves and viewing their existence as dreary. Yet, Pollyanna faithfully plays her ’glad game,’ innocently teaching it to others wherever she goes.
Townspeople learn the joy of the game too. This fresh adaptation will put a smile on faces of all ages.

The Emperor's New Clothes
by Karen Boetcher Taate
The kingdom of Glump has been taxed to abstraction ever since their emperor became a pampered clothes horse with a lack of taste! Not only is he an egotistical hypochondriac, he has three ’lovely’ daughters who are quickly becoming chips off the old block. The emperor and his family are so busy mismatching their wardrobe, the rest of the kingdom is in a shambles. Enter two con artists who devise an ingenious plan. Everyone chooses to ’see’ their magic cloth, until the innocent candor of a child ’reveals all.’ The emperor is shamed into reforming his leadership role in society, and his spoiled daughters learn a valuable lesson in humility. Based on the tale by Hans Christian Andersen.

When UPS arrives with invitations from the Kingdom of Wychwood. Cinderella and Bob are both thrilled but forbidden to attend the festivities. With the help of the Fairy Godmother, the Godfather, two enchanted gerbils and a lot of luck, they find a way! On the night that Cinderella crashes Princess Petunia’s birthday ball, Bob has similar designs on Prince Percy’s kingdom-wide baseball game When the two strangers disappear at midnight after Cinderella hits a game winning homerun, the search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat!
