The town of Whisker has been terrorized by dragons.  When two knights vanquish the monsters, they are instant celebrities.  Unfortunately, Lillian Scum hates the knights because she wants all honor for destroying the dragons to go to Rafferty, her very handsome (yet rather unintelligent) son.  She has all but given up on Rocky, her gentle, eldest son, who wants to become a chef.  Imagine her glee when Rafferty discovers that the knights are really girls in disguise.  Now, everybody knows a ’girl’ can’t fight dragons, so Rafferty and his mother succeed in convincing the town that HE won the dragon fight.  Rocky comes to the knights’ defense, but the citizens turn their back on him.  They even refuse to give him and the two girls a bite to eat!  But Rocky won’t give up and he helps the knights cook up a pot of that old favorite — STONE SOUP. Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Denver, Colorado

The Golden Goose

By Judy Wolfman

Performance Dates: January 16-18, 2026

Simple and naïve Frederick, nicknamed “Dumbkopf” by his two older brothers, convinces Papa to let him go into the forest to cut wood.  His brothers had already tried, but they both had peculiar accidents that left them injured after refusing to share their rations with a mysterious Old Woman.  But the kind-hearted Dumbkopf doesn’t hesitate to share his meager food supply with the Old Woman.  To reward him, the Old Woman helps him find the magical Golden Goose.  As Dumbkopf leaves the forest with the enchanted bird, he hilariously encounters a variety of townspeople who all become stuck fast to each other when they reach out to touch it.  You can just imagine the sight of Dumbkopf carrying the mystical goose with a human chain attached!  No wonder this uproarious parade makes the princess of the kingdom laugh for the first time in her life!  The king and queen had desperately been trying to put a smile on their princess’s face, bringing in clowns, comics...  anything to bring out a chuckle.  Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Denver Colorado.
