Play Synopsis: Twice Upon a Time

Grandma doesn’t really like fairy tales — she prefers adventure stories about pirates and astronauts. So when her grandkids ask for fairy tales at bedtime, Grandma puts some very silly twists on the classics.

“Twice upon a time…” begins each goofy retelling.
Cindy-Rella is now an obsessive neat freak who refuses to leave her chores to attend the prince’s barbecue (even with a bouncy castle!).
With no Big Bad Wolf in sight, Big Bad Bear ends up threatening both the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Pants. Even Goldilocks can’t figure out why she keeps popping up in all the wrong stories!

Despite their protests, the children beg for more. Grandma continues with Snow White and the Four Dwarves (because four is plenty), and Grumplegrapeskin — a magical goblin who just wants the game show host to remember his name.

This charming one-act play features five fractured fairy tales packed with kooky characters and big laughs.
