Plot Synopsis

The Woods are a place where characters from several fairy tales meet and interact a cautionary tale of trust, love, and greed. Everything is fine in Act One as Cinderella’s stepsisters get ready for The Ball, Jack takes his cow to market, Rapunzel lets down her hair for the Prince, Red Riding Hood heads for Granny’s house, and the Baker and his Wife set their sights on having a child. The Witch appears and works her magic to reach her own goals. The story becomes very dark in Act Two and not all ends happily ever after. Snow White and Sleeping Beauty only appear in the curtain calls!

And by the way...

The answer to our very most frequently asked question is - NO!!!

The question is: Do you have a minimum order or do we have to rent a whole show?

We believe you should be able to order one hat, two props, an entire show, or anything in between - it's one of your basic theatrical freedoms.
