enchanted princess and the please  

Princess Suzy has a problem! At her birth, a horrible spell was cast upon her, making her the rudest and worst-mannered princess in the land! In our story, her father, King Henry, has invited several princes to come seek Princess Suzy's hand in marriage. According to the royal rules, Princess Suzy must be married soon if she is to become queen, but each of the seven princes who come to the palace leaves when he discovers just how rude the princess can be! It's up to Prince Rodney, with the help of Bosko the BackYard Pup and the children in the audience, to help Princess Suzy learn how to behave! Will true love be able to break the horrible curse?

Celebrating Peter’s 105^th birthday, this Classic Children’s tale is performed by both actors and little audience members alike.  The actors play the roles of Peter Rabbit and Beatrix Potter, the author of the series of tiny books of which Peter Rabbit is 1 of 23.   Unsuspecting adults play Farmer McGregor and the berry bush and the anxious-to-volunteer children in the audience not only play Mrs. Rabbit and Peter’s good little brothers and sister, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail, but they will also grace the stage as cabbage heads, french beans, radishes, wheel barrows, mice, cats, goldfish, colorful sparrows and garden gates!  Although the central story is the same as the one we grew up with, this tale gleefully changes with every performance as new cast members join in the fun and excitement of telling Beatrix Potter’s enduring tale of being good and “minding your mother.”

This kid-friendly version is filled with San Antonio Fiesta fun!  Beauty is the daughter of Beautiful, the Queen of Fiesta in San Antonio. When Beautiful falls ill to a sleeping sickness, Beauty must venture into the mysterious palace of the fabled Fiesta Beast to find the Grand San Antonio Cascarone that she needs to free her mother, the Fiesta Queen, from her slumber in time for Fiesta!
The Beast is actually a big floppy dog.  No one knows that he is really a Fiesta Prince, and that he was turned into a big floppy dog to learn his lesson when he would not share his Grand San Antonio Cascarones with anyone.  If he wouldn’t share than he would learn the hard way about how it feels when others won’t share their love and friendship with him.  The only way to break the spell is to share his prized possession with someone in need and to have that special someone tell him that he was loved. 
The best part of this show is that all the characters, including Beauty and her mother Beautiful are played by the children and parents in the audience!  They play flowers, woodland animals, Mexican Hat dancers, firemen and cheerleaders.  They sing songs and act out scenes about primary colors, letters and numbers.  They explore feelings of sadness and joy, love and friendship in this happy little story of sharing and acceptance in this lovely tale of Beauty and the Fiesta Beast!        

A classic children’s tale about a poor girl’s journey from rags to riches, Snow White takes the audience on a fun and frolicking adventure that includes a handsome Prince, a mean, but misunderstood Stepmother, a Mirror
with a big mouth and seven cute dwarfs played by local child actors who are selected from our Kreative Teens and Kreative Kids classes.  This annual production encourages the children in the audience to take acting classes to learn how to perform in front of an audience.  Who knows?  This year’s tiny audience member could be next year’s dwarf with a paycheck!  A wonderful opportunity and great fun for the whole family!
