STORYBOOK THEATRE

Welcome to Storybook Theatre where we take classic fairytales and put a fun twist on them, and then you get to act them out! Do you love acting, singing, and dancing? Then Storybook Theatre will surely be a great fit for you! In just one week we'll put together a whole musical, and you get to be one of the stars! Come have a wondrous week with Storybook Theatre!

Twice Upon a Time: What happens when a beloved fairytale world is rewritten before your eyes? Storybook Theatre invites audiences to step into a magical whirlwind with Twice Upon a Time – their first-ever original production – where the pages of The Storybook have been stolen, and “happily ever after” is suddenly up for debate. In this playful, fast-paced adventure, Rip Van Winkle has been guarding The Storybook for far too long – until he wakes to discover it’s vanished. With the fairytale world turning upside down, Rip sets off with the Seven Dwarfs to restore what’s been lost and set the stories right. Along the way, they encounter a parade of familiar faces from Mother Goose and the residents of the Shoe Inn to the Evil Queen and her band of Bad Apples, Captain Hook and the Pirates of Neverland, and the Fairy Godmother with the young royals of Pixie Dust’s School for Girls and Boys.

What if Captain Hook traded swordplay for crocheting? What if Jack and Jill refused to climb the hill? And what if Sleeping Beauty could no longer sleep? With laughter, heart, and plenty of surprises, Twice Upon a Time asks: Can Rip and his friends return The Storybook to its rightful place before the endings are changed forever?
