Experience the Unexpected: WYO PLAY Middle School Drama Club
In the classic story, four friends gathered around a fire and regaled each other with beloved tales of old. They shared versions of Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, and Goldilocks – though with a twist! Instead of being true to the traditional storylines, the familiar characters experience unexpected events. In this version of Hansel and Gretel, the witch is the good guy. Cinderella goes on an angry rampage, and Romeo and Juliet live happily ever after. Goldilocks embarks on a new journey leading her to Memphis in 1950s America, where she meets none other than Elvis!
