The plays are produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado. CHARMING!: Once upon a time, the Wicked Stepmothers’ Association tried to get rid of all the frogs, but one frog escaped – and then became Prince Charming. In a hysterical scene the likes of which your stage has never seen before, the stepmothers devise so many princesses and others who need rescuing that poor Prince Charming feels like he’s in a decathlon. AFTER HOURS: Two lively mannequins, LuAnn and Patty, have been waiting all day for a chance to loosen up. When they discover fellow mannequin Danny has been delivered in the wrong crate, the night really gets interesting! To add to the fun and suspense, the burglars and mannequins are almost caught by the near-sighted security guard and some late-night window shoppers. With great comic dialogue and stage action, this is a crazy award-winning comedy popular with all ages. Free parking is available in the back of the building, and also free off-street and lot parking within four blocks or less from the theater. The building is wheelchair accessible.
