Play: "Never After Happily"

Description

Play, performed by students Grades 9-12
Ella's a woman of a certain age who has bulldozed her way into the fairy tale world.  She’s tired of the false promises of “happily ever after” that never come true in the real world. Ella’s not retelling these stories—she's just writing what happens AFTER the endings, where reality collides with fairy tales in very messy ways. Now, a middle-aged Cinderella and the entire kingdom are rocked as these aging ingénues and neurotic princes try to deal with life after that perfect moment. Part farce, part vaudeville, part SNL and a totally wild ride that no one ever imagined after “happily ever after.”
