The musical follows a Baker and his Wife who learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door. The couple embarks on a quest – swindling, deceiving and stealing from such already-victimized characters as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (fresh off the beanstalk!) – to get the special objects required to break the spell. However, the story doesn’t simply end “happily ever after” as each character must now face the consequences of his/her decision.  A cast of 19 talents performers from grades 9 – 12 are currently in daily rehearsals prepping for opening night.  Performing in the show are Emalie Green as the Baker’s Wife, Liam Paxton as the Baker, Lillian Christian as Cinderella, Caden Stewart as The Wolf, Sanaa Davis as Little Red Riding Hood, Karlie Wilson as the Witch, Drake Remy as Rapunzel’s Prince, John Keogh and Cinderella’s Prince, Bri Studer as the Narrator, Piper Donahue as Rapunzel, Gage Workman as Jack, Loren Carmel and Emma Finley as the Stepsisters, Audrey Ward and the Stepmother, Courtney Cyrus as Cinderella’s Mother, Logan Waxter as Cinderella’s Father, Ashley Gusta as Granny, Jacob Ford as the Steward and Paityn Hall as Jack’s Mother.
