About Goldilocks and the Three Pigs / And Then There Was One

Goldilocks and the Three Pigs

Goldilocks and the three...  PIGS?!!!  The action in this playful romp begins with Goldilocks dashing into the house of the three Chop brothers.  Yes, these are the same three pigs who lost two of their houses to the Wolf, and they’re still emotionally scarred from the incident!  With the help of their friendly neighbors, the Squeal sisters, they help Goldilocks hide from the witch who’s chasing her.  But when the witch puts a spell on Goldi, forcing her to stay in the house, the pig sisters leave on a mission to find a potion that can act as a spell remover.  Toss into this hilarious fractured fairy tale the Big Bad Wolf, his French weasel friend Oui Oui, two very different witches (who won’t leave you asking “Which witch?”), and one very confused — and somewhat snooty — storyteller and watch the mayhem that ensues!  Mix in a classic chase scene and a little bit of a moral and the end concoction is a delightful take on a couple of old storybook standbys full of energy and enough humor and adventure for children of all ages!

And Then There Was One

This spoof of the famous stage mystery is all comedy, filled with hilarious sight gags and dialogue.  Ten people are brought together by mysterious invitation to the Reef Mansion on a tiny, isolated island.  Not one of them knows the host, who is nowhere to be found.  Still, he has left an ominous recording that bodes evil for the guests.  Like the chocolate soldiers that inexplicably disappear from the mantel one by one, the guests begin to die one by one.  Luckily, Inspector Miles is among the guests, but even he is stymied as to who the murderer could be.  A great spoof, this delightful script doesn’t miss any opportunity for lively comedy and humor.
