DANVILLE — Red Mask Players Children’s Theater presents “Channeling Grimm” by Tracy Wells on Sept. 5-7 at the Kathryn Randolph Theater in Danville.
The Grimm Brothers hit the small screen. Cameron (Silas Reeves) doesn’t know what to write for an honors English assignment on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Luckily, friend Jaime (Mina Stites) has the solution — watch TV versions of the tales. But when Cameron points the unusual looking remote at the screen, expecting Netflix or Apple TV, instead they find the wackiest assortment of fairy-tale themed programming.
There’s a Project Runway style competition show called “Project Ballgown,” a Frog Prince soap opera called “The Green and the Beautiful,” a game show hosted by Magic Mirror (Victor Hasty) called “Who’s the Fairest One of All?,” and a sitcom starring Rumpelstiltskin (Jack Siddens). The teens also find news stories, a Law and Order style show, a movie trailer, and, of course, commercials.
Other cast members include Cassandra Becker, Addi Cahill, Ella Drollinger, Eli Foster, Lydia Gouty, Kaden Johnson, Aiden Koniecski, Quintas Barnett Lasam, Adryona McDuffee, Harper Musk, Lennox Musk, Angelina Nguyen, Izzy O’Connor, Liza Pratt, Daisy Reeves, Paisley Reitsma, Willow Richardson, EmmaLee Siddens, Kenzee Smith, Zofia White.
Director Jill Poggendorf says, “Channeling Grimm has 51 roles played by 24 young actors,’’ said Director Jill Poggendorf in a news release. “They switch characters so quickly and effortlessly that every scene feels fresh and full of surprises — I can’t wait for audiences to see their creativity on stage!”
