Youth Production Announced

Rogue Elephant Productions is excited to announce its first Youth Production coming this summer, “I Wish” by Mike Steel, co-directed by Kathy Huffman and Michelle Kittel. This short one-act play will run for three performances on August 12-14, 2021, preceding the evening performances of “Into The Woods” on those dates.

“I Wish,” a title that echoes the opening lines of “Into The Woods,” is a comedic re-telling of Cinderella’s story from the fairy god-mother’s point of view. When a hardworking fairy named Carol stops by her goddaughter’s cottage to borrow a cup of flour, a simple visit quickly turns into a complicated evening of chaos. Carol’s plans to bake a batch of brownies are set into a tailspin when a bunch of silly strangers (including a door-to-door salesman, a repairwoman, a pizza delivery boy, and more) show up, hoping to have their wishes granted by the Fairy Godmother. Making a wish come true should be easy with magic on her side, but an accidental encounter with a fire-breathing dragon renders Carol’s wand useless. To top it off, a bunch of mischievous mice are on the loose. Will we ever make it to happily ever after? And will the brownie batter ever find its way into the oven?

Auditions for “I Wish” will be held on May 1, 2021, at Miss Jennifer’s Dance Studio. Due to ongoing COVID restrictions, auditions will be by appointment only; contact information to set up appointments will be announced soon by the show’s directors. Auditions will be open to kids from 8 years old (at audition time) to high school seniors. Click here for additional audition information!
