“That crown was past its due date a few generations ago!” – Princess Camilla
COMEDY. Princess Camilla, an annoying fashion snob, continually criticizes her 
classmates’ fashion choices at Fairy Godmother’s Finishing School for Charming Princes and Princesses. Tired of Princess Camilla’s tirades, her classmates decide to teach the foppish fashionista a lesson by sprinkling her hair with frizzy hair dust. But the mislabeled magic dust accidentally transforms Princess Camilla into a hideous ogre. In exchange for a fashion consultation, Rumpelstiltskin escorts Camilla and her classmates into the Enchanted Forest to visit three witches to reverse the spell. Despite using a freshly brewed potion, the witches’ attempt to turn Camilla back into a princess fails. Then as the students head 
back to the castle to seek help from the Fairy Godmother, they get lost and run into a troublesome trio of trolls who face off with Camilla. Audiences will love the fashion show finale when the characters strut their stuff on the runway and reveal their makeovers to the audience.

COMEDY. Wolfgang is small, sensitive, and wants to be a chivalrous knight. Which is a problem, as he is a wolf. At school he struggles with his wolf lessons, such as building up his diaphragmatic breathing to be strong enough to blow down houses, growling menacingly, or learning cunning disguises such as how to pull off sheep’s clothing to passing off as an innocent old granny. He enters the enchanted forest, in the hopes of doing good deeds. Can Wolfgang become a chivalrous knight and save all the big bad wolves from big bad trouble?

FARCE. King Cuthbert and Queen Priscilla have to break the bad 
news to Princess Poppy: She can’t keep her pet dragon Dimpleton in the castle anymore. The monster just isn’t fit for palace life. He knocks everything over with his giant tail, he belches fire at the dinner table, and he accidentally burned down the royal apple orchard. To help Dimpleton adjust to palace life, Princess Poppy asks Prince Charming to give Dimpleton a crash course on castle charm and etiquette. Prince Charming tries to show Dimpleton how to introduce himself without roaring, how to dance in the ballroom without looking like he is circling prey, and how to smile without bearing his teeth menacingly or burping fire at the dinner table. Dimpleton tries his best to be the perfect palace pet, but he is a dragon after all!

FARCE. Fairy Godmother is at wit’s end with her class of unruly, misbehaved princes and princesses and all their fighting, dueling, and combative behavior. To teach her students that their behavior is most un-charming, the Fairy Godmother tells them the story of Princess Pearlette and Olga “the ornery” ogre. When Princess Pearlette meets Olga, she 
invites her to a tea party. At first, Olga thinks Princess Pearlette would make a good teatime treat, but instead the two become friends. Princess Pearlette teaches Olga to refrain from commenting on how plump and delicious someone looks, to smile without bearing her teeth, to greet others without growling, and to ballroom dance. In return, Olga shows Princess Pearlette how 
to do the ogre dance, which involves scratching oneself all over, rolling in the dirt, and fiercely staring at others while circling them. Princess Pearlette convinces her brother Prince Charming that it’s better to dance with ogres than fight them, and Olga shows the other ogres that it’s more fun to attend palace balls, dance, and eat crumpets with the royals instead of dining on them.
