Pharaoh Serket and the Lost Stone of Fire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mysterious Zalira and sneeze-afflicted palace scribe, Bakneb, must aid the young and spoiled Pharaoh Serket if he is to escape death at the hands of his ever present enemies. Together they journey deep into the desert to find the Lost Stone of Fire, a gem so mystical it is believed to grant its owner immortality. However, Serke's quest brings him a treasure even greater.
"This world-premiere by John Olive is a little bit like an Indiana Jones flick...Add in some opulent visuals, some genuine suspense and some good laughs and you have an eventful yarn set in ancient Egypt that can keep a theater full of kids riveted." -The Seattle Times

| Zagazoo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One day a package arrives for George and Bella. Opening it, the seemingly clueless duo discovers a little pink creature named Zagazoo. The couple is thrilled and spends happy days throwing Zagazoo from one to the other. Then one day the parents awaken to find that Zagazoo has morphed into a screeching baby vulture. Each day Zagazoo continues to change into a new creature, including a mud-tracking warthog, a fire-breathing dragon and a wailing bat. Zagazoo then turns into a hairy creature that gets bigger and hairier and stranger each day. He finally turns into young man with perfect manners who falls in love with a young woman. When Zagazoo and his beloved go to tell his parents that they wish to marry, they find that George and Bella have changed into a pair of pelicans. Isn't life amazing!

Hansel and Gretel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is dinner time and as usual the children push around the food on their plate, complain and act rudely. So tonight instead of dinner, Mother tells the story of Hansel and Gretel. As the story evolves of two hungry children abandoned in the forest by their parents and their capture by a wicked witch, the family embraces their roles and find a Happily Ever After ending.
"The sparkling re-telling of the familiar tale of breadcrumbs and wicked witches still retains an occasional chilling moment but provides great family entertainment with a few surprises and a fair helping of seasonal fun." -North Wales Chronicle
"Kenny makes a fascinating parallel between the resources needed by a story's characters and the story-telling imagination of the family members." -Reviews Gate
"Playwright Mike Kenny has given the story a new twist without losing any of its essence; the parents begin by telling it to their ungrateful and complaining children; then the family become part of the story themselves." -Sparkler
