New fairy tale smash-up play! PRINCESS PRIMROSE

Announcing a new play by Bobbi A. Chukran!!!

PRINCESS PRIMROSE & the CURSE of the BIG SLEEP
From the Casefiles of Rapunzel & White, In Service to Her Majesty the Queen

What if two of the most famous fairy tale women, Rapunzel Rapunzel and Snow White were friends, and got together and started a detective agency? They'd have seven little sidekicks (Nosy, Snoops, Sherlock, Stealthy, Creeper, Gumshoe and Marlowe) and be called in to help when a certain princess (Primrose) was threatened by her aunt, a wicked witch (Moribunda McEvil) and her faithful partner, Eargore (a spell gone really bad). Mix in Queen Floribunda, King Rosario, Chester the Jester, Snitch, the tattle-tale fairy who can't get his story straight, a young witch that can only reverse spells (Miss Slumberkins), an enchanted frog that's afraid of germs (Thaddeus A. Pole), and Weasel the Wizard.

You'll never look at a frog the same way again. :-)

Comedy; App. 65-minutes; cast of 21 plus some a few motley enchanted creatures, typical fairy tale setting and costumes. Family friendly (of course), suitable for adult, high school and advanced middle school actors.

This play is available for readings. Please contact the playwright for more information.

ANNOUNCING, A NEW PLAY!

After slaving over a hot keyboard for FOUR whole days, I'd like to announce my latest play...this time, a full-length.

DOT and the (AMAZING TECHNICOLOR) QUEST FOR THE REAL SANTA CLAUSE

This is a holiday/Christmas play for adults, nine characters with possible doubling or cross-dressing (oh my!). I wrote it for a playwriting competition, and actually made the deadline. Motivation is a good thing!

It's been sent to several directors, but like they say, a play is never finished.

happy trails,

ANNIERELLA is a finalist!

WORLD PREMIERE OF BOBBI A. CHUKRAN'S PLAY, ANNIERELLA

I'm beyond jazzed at the news that my short play for youth, ANNIERELLA & the (VERY AWESOME) GOOD QUEEN FAIRY COWMOTHER is a finalist in the SUMMER SHORTS 4: CELEBRATION, Youth Education on Stage Festival in Williston, ND and will be produced!!! This is a ten-minute version of the longer play by the same title.

Directed by Jack Dyville, former Texan, the play is a very loose adaptation of the classic Cinderella story, Texas style, BUT with a very different ending.

The Festival takes place at the Old Armory Theatre in downtown Williston, North Dakota on June 23-25. ANNIERELLA is one of nine finalists, each of which will be performed three times during the festival.

If you're in the area, please GO!

This version of the ANNIERELLA play, as well as the longer version (app. 40 minutes, suitable for all ages), is available for more productions. Please e-mail me, the playwright, for more information.

Happy Trails!
