This version of the Grimm's Fairy Tale has a Prince and a Princess, of course.

But also 6 Evil Princesses who are out to get kind Princess Penelope.

| 6 Evil Princesses in half their dresses-I'm sure this is fight is in the script...somewhere. |
They get to the Prince first then go back and "help" Penelope get lost in the forest as she tries to find the Prince of A Faraway Kingdom, whose parents think it is time for him to marry a princess.

| Outrage at the Prince not liking them |
But the Prince thinks all of the 6 Evil Princesses aren't real princesses-"they're all too 2-dimensional". Penelope finds the castle eventually, but she is late and soaked from the rain. Because of these flaws, the Queen cannot be convinced that she is really a princess. (The King & Prince need no convincing.)

Penelope's least favorite vegetable is served for dinner. But she minds her P's & Q's and even the Queen of A Faraway Kingdom sees her beauty the next morning. In the happy ending the Prince asks Penelope to marry him.

We had a great time painting dresses that flipped into trees, the royal table with dinnerware, and a bed over 7' tall. We played games that helped us use our voices, props, and learn blocking. Another successful week of play.
