In the process she encounters Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Goldilocks, Snow White, The Seven Dwarfs, The Three Bears, Cinderella, Rapunzel, along with many assorted princes, witches and fairy godmothers.  Adult actors augment the cast and work along side the younger actors.  Those appearing in the cast are Arianna Caffie, Teresa Evans, Allyson Frederick, Kory Frederick, C. Richard Haldi, Tom Hathhorn, Aundrea Heschmeyer, D’Ella Heschmeyer, Millie Heschmeyer, Sophie Heschmeyer, Chloe Housteau, Marisa Keshock, Sam Luptak, Jr., Anthony Marsilio, Dillon McBee, Linda McGrath, Abigail Planey, Hannah Planey, Kara Planey, Regina Reynolds, Mike Shobel, Sarah Sobota, Jessica Stellars and Jerrica Walker.
