lost all of his charm at a bad time. She’s hosting an
engagement party for Snow White’s stepmother,
Queen Foraday, and her intended, King Pynn.
Desperate, she calls her Fairy Godmother, who asks
Jack the Giant to check the castle for parasites and
begs the Little Mermaid to test the drinking water. She
even has Little Red Riding Hood check the Price to see
if he’s been bitten by the Big Bad Wolf. But he’s only
been a grump since he got his new iPhone with more
killer apps than anyone. He’s become totally
dependent on them. They find the evil Queen has
returned to her old ways and cast a spell to steal the
happy face app to make herself more charming. At the
party, they confront her. She restores the Prince’s
charm and he becomes the life of the party! Easy to
stage with two simple sets. Lots of fun for performers

This camp promises teens a summer adventure — and
it delivers! There’s a werewolf howling at the moon,
and he’s a camp counselor! The newest camper,
Eduardo, appears to be a vampire. But camper Nell
falls for him anyway to the dismay of Deena, the
hottest camper at Twilight. They don’t know that the
camp’s pesky bats are really Eduardo’s mom and dad,
who are trying to bring him home. A pair of looney hit
ladies show up looking for someone hiding in camp.
They want to settle the score for Murray the Mugger,
but the camp director thinks they’re the martial artists
hired to perform. As midnight approaches under a full
moon, the adventures come to a howling climax.
Werewolves, vampires, assassins, campers, and
counselors are tossed into a comedy blender and come
out laughing! Lots of funny lines and hilarious
situations for everyone. Easy to stage with one set.

When novice vampire hunter Makenzie Thomas learns a
student has disappeared from Hitchcock High, she
launches into full Van Helsing mode. Her friends have
evidence that their weird chemistry teacher is up to
something at the spooky, abandoned Bascomb House.
When they find out a group of students is heading that
way, they sneak into the house to hide. They are horrified
to see the teens turn into zombies. A “Bride of Dracula”
woman takes control of the zombies, who wander
clumsily in search of human prey. Nosey neighbors drag
a pair of nervous “deputy Fife” cops to the house, who
run out screaming in terror. Makenzie tries to battle the
monsters, but her friends turn into zombies one by one.
She alone must defend the town against a zombie
takeover. Lots of funny lines and hilarious situations for
everyone. Easy to stage with one set.
