    Don't miss this year's children's show, Channeling Grimm by Tracy Wells, November 30-December 2 @ 7pm! Tickets are $10 on GoFan.

    Synopsis: The Grimm Brothers have hit the small screen! Cameron doesn’t know what to write for an honors English assignment on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.  Luckily, friend Jaime has the solution...  watch TV versions of the tales!  But when Cameron points the unusual looking remote at the screen expecting Netflix or Apple TV, instead they find the wackiest assortment of fairy-tale themed programming!  There’s a Project Runway style competition show called “Project Ballgown,” a Frog Prince soap opera called “The Green and the Beautiful,” a game show hosted by Magic Mirror called, ”Who’s The Fairest One of All?,” and a sitcom starring Rumplestiltskin!  The teens also find news stories, a Law and Order style show, a movie trailer, and of course, commercials!

    Guidelines

    • Your play should be roughly 5-10 minutes long.
    • Include the name of the director, if different from the writer.
    • Published 10-minute plays may be performed, but you must speak with Mr. Work to obtain licensing (published plays cost money.)
    • Content must be school appropriate. Any content or language that may be considered controversial must be approved by an administrator.
    • Although dramas are allowed, the tone of Bite-Sized Theatre is usually comedic.
    • Writers & directors will cast their own plays.
    • You will need to rehearse on your own time and in your own locations. You will have three days of tech in the theater on 3/18-3/20 from 2:30pm-6:00pm. It is your responsibility to make sure your play is memorized, rehearsed, and fully prepared before tech week.
