ONCE UPON A HOLIDAY

Produced 3 consecutive years at Lake Worth Playhouse

Lake Worth, FL (2007-2009)


This family-friendly holiday
extravaganza features music and
dance to celebrate holidays from
around the world and throughout
the ages.

 

When the North pole elf-kids awake
on Deck-the-Halls Day, they're filled
with all the excitement of the season.
But spirits fizzle as they begin their decking duties and discover Mrs.
Claus's favorite ornament is missing!
It will take the work of CSI North
Pole’s finest detective, Inspector
Inkling, and his not-so-trusty
sidekick, Bobby Bamboozle,
along with combined efforts of the
eager elf kids to bring the magic
back to the season.

STELLA’S WISH
Debuted at Lake Worth Playhouse
Lake Worth, FL (May 2008)

 

When love-struck Stella discovers
her “Prince Charming” is being pursued by the most devious diva on the block, Stella yearns for a fairy godmother
to help her win his affections. But her wish signals get crossed with the vibes from a dusty old jukebox, landing her instead with the Godfather of Soul –
Mr. James Brown himself!

 

Accompanied by a classic Motown/R&B musical score and a trio of fancy-footed “Step” Sisters – the Godfather tries his best to grant Stella’s wish, but his matchmaking skills leave much to
be desired. Not to worry ... help is
on the way when the Queen of Soul
steps in to command some
R-E-S-P-E-C-T and set the young
couple on a path to happy ever after.
