The Dover Players community theater group is presenting an hour of Fractured Fairy Tale fun with two short, silly stories for the family, The Three Wishes and The Princess Who Couldn’t Laugh, written and directed by Jim Volkert.  

Fractured Fairy Tales

The Three Wishes / The Princess Who Couldn’t Laugh

We present two adaptations of lesser known fairy tales that come with a traditional lesson

to be learned. The collection of stories by the Grimm brothers and folktales from around the world

were a way for families and friends from an earlier time to both entertain and teach.

Fun for the entire family!

Bring the family!  Suitable for ages 4 and up!

Each fairy tale is approximately ½ hour long

Treats/prizes given to children after the show!

Children will sit on blankets or on benches in front of the actors. Limited seating for adults, so

reservations are encouraged!
