My 10-minute script THE BEAUTIFUL OGRE AND OTHER FAIRY TALES will be produced in August by Open Space Arts in Reisterstown, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore suburbs.
Production dates are August 5-7 and 12-14.
This will be the seventh production of that script:
THE BEAUTIFUL OGRE AND OTHER FAIRY TALES
A father reads his daughter a fairy tale as a bedtime story — which the characters begin to act out. The girl doesn’t like how the story is going — no strong female role models, for instance — so she changes it all around. This is the result. Cast: Five — three males, two females. Running time: Eight minutes.
