Perfect
for school plays or community theatre, ANNIERELLA is a Texas
style comedy adaptation of the Cinderella story, with a very
unusual fairy godmother and a very different twisty ending.
Annierella lives with her stepmother, Eula Gee, and three crazy
stepsisters (Mozelda Joe, Brizelda Jane and Frizelda Ann) on
a small Texas farm. She wants to go to the huge party given by
the rich ranch owner (Roy Bob), but isn't allowed to go because
she's got too many chores to do.
To the rescue comes the Good Queen (Very Awesome) Fairy Cowmother,
a strange and quirky bovine character with an attitude the size
of Texas who wears a tutu and a tiara and is followed around
by a group of "mutton minions."
With the use of an old watermelon from the compost patch and
a few enchanted armadillos, Annierella gets to the ball in style,
red boots and all, then barely gets back home in the nick of
time. When the rich rancher comes looking for her, she makes
a decision that turns the original story on its head and ends
with a shockingly hilarious twist.
The audience will laugh all the way to the happy
but twisted ending. This ain't your mama's Cinderella story!

What
others are saying about ANNIERELLA:
As producer
of Youth Education On Stage, we have found that doing SUMMER
SHORTS, a short play festival is the ideal way to give more
grade school children each summer that all important opportunity
to sink their teeth into roles (even if they are brief plays)
rather than just playing a tree or third chorus kid to the left!!!
With "Annierella" my cast had so much fun with these
folksey characters and had the opportunity to create roles that
had meaning to them. The dialogue was clever and the jokes were
strong. The audiences loved it and it moved the judges -- winning
the Best Over-All Production of the Festival".

North Dakota) and Artistic Director, Friends Always Creating
