Rutherford Wolf is the story of Little Red Riding Hood, only there is a small problem. The wolf is a vegetarian!

The Wizard of Oz in the Wild West has all of your favorite Oz characters in it, only instead of going to Oz, they end up in the Wild West.

Witches, Britches, Rings and Things is a storyteller play. The storyteller is a retired witch, who received a lovely quilt for her retirement. She sits and begins to tell her cat the stories which are woven into the fabric of the quilt.

The Princess and the Pea is the traditional fairy tale of the young woman who can feel the pea through all of the layers of mattresses, and proves to be the true princess.

Fairy Tale Theatre, established in 1985 by Don and Kathryn Resio and now in its eighteenth year, is open to children ages seven through eighteen. Through Fairy Tale Theatre, children have an opportunity to participate in all aspects of live theater. We strongly advocate participation in community theater, as it promotes leadership, responsibility, integrity, and creativity while offering young people an opportunity to showcase their talents. Each of the Fairy Tale plays is produced for children. Older children direct some of the productions, while children of all ages serve as performers and gain experience in areas of theatre such as learning lines, blocking, making costumes, helping with set construction, and working backstage. Fairy Tale Theater is often the only chance many of our young people have to be actively involved in the performing arts.
