(Page 1)
(Chorus increases flexibility of numbers.) These shows are a mixture of scripts written for schools and children’s groups, and short pieces written for performance by adults or mixes of adults and children. The quoted run-times are a guideline only; so much depends on an individual production. Aladdin [Short Version]

Short pantomime (generally, but not exclusively, intended to be played by children). Single set (as simple or complex as you wish). Few props.

Cinderella's stepmother, Elvira, has taken a correspondence course and is now a powerful fairy, able to defeat the Fairy Godmother.
