 ABOUT VIRTUAL THEATRE
Virtual theatre is a new and exciting art form that is just beginning to
evolve and reveal its potential. Just a short time ago, no one would
have conceived of trying to perform a scene, let alone an entire play,
with every actor isolated in their own home. And yet, it’s happening…
with surprisingly positive results.
This play is written specifically for the characters to be communicating
electronically, without face-to-face dialogue, yet still interacting with
each other in real time. This unique quality creates the ideal scenario to
perform them on Zoom, Google Hangouts, or a similar digital platform.
Even though the audience will be watching the performance on a screen,
this is still a theatrical play, not a screen play for a movie. Cinematic
elements such as camera angles, shifts in lighting, elaborate sets, and
close-ups on an actor’s facial expressions are beyond most people’s
skills. Yet these productions are like movies in that the camera
becomes a tool that helps us create our characters. As actors, we
need to learn to play to that, even as we sit in front of our laptops.
By necessity, blocking is quite limited in virtual theatre, elevating body
language—facial expressions, gestures, posture, and body positions—
to a heightened level of importance. For instance, facing the camera
directly is the strongest body position, but this should never be a static
pose. You can create a more nuanced performance by adopting other
positions, such as a one-quarter front position, facing partially left or
right. If two actors face one another in full profile on the screen, it will
create the sense that they are sharing the scene. For even more dramatic
effect, a three-quarter back position so that only your shoulder and one
side of your head is visible can suggest weakness, hurt, or anger.
Clearly, virtual theatre is far more than storytelling on camera, and
there’s a world of acting still to be done to add depth and meaning to
the words you’re speaking, even without a traditional stage.

NOTE
Since all dialogue is virtual via “magic mirrors,” every character’s screen
represents their reflection. If able, get creative with various “mirror”
frames as indicated in the script, but the concept here is that every
character is connecting to one another through a mirror. For more details
on how produce this show as virtual theater, see PRODUCTION NOTES.

Scene One

1 CAMERA ON: EVIL QUEEN looks at herself in her “mirror.” She does a
few poses, perhaps a duck face, pouty face, flirty face. Eventually, she
becomes frustrated and summons MAGIC MIRROR.
EVIL QUEEN: Mirror, mirror, on the wall…
5 MAGIC MIRROR: (CAMERA ON. Annoyed.) Oh, what is it now?!
EVIL QUEEN: Wha—? Is that any way to address your queen?
MAGIC MIRROR: I’m sorry, your majesty. (Bows low.) How can I be
of service to you, my queen, conqueror of the Seven Realms,
supreme sorceress of the Order of Magic, and ruler over all people,
10 including those who call you the Conjurer of Terror and the Mistress
of Malevolence and Mayhem, the dwarves who call you Magora the
Mighty Mage, the witches who call you Gothmora the Great, the
fairies who call you the Harbinger of Harm, and the giants of the
Sky Kingdom who likely call you by many names that nobody knows
15 because no one has ever met the giants?
EVIL QUEEN: That’s better. You know what they say. Flattery will get
you… everywhere.
MAGIC MIRROR: That’s not what th— I mean, that is to say… How
may I serve you, my queen?
20 EVIL QUEEN: Tell me, Mirror, am I fair?
MAGIC MIRROR: You mean fair as in just, discerning right from wrong?
EVIL QUEEN: (Bursts.) No, you fool! (Beat. Calms down. Does another
pose.) I mean… am I fair? You know, like… beautiful fair? Am I fair
to look upon?
25 MAGIC MIRROR: Why, yes, you are, my queen. You are indeed fair to
look upon. But as it is said, “Beauty is only…”
EVIL QUEEN: Only what?
MAGIC MIRROR: You know, I’d rather not finish that sentence.
EVIL QUEEN: (Rages.) Finish it!
30 MAGIC MIRROR: (Nervous.) Well, that is to say, er, so it is said, by
probably some bunch of nobodies… “Beauty is only… skin deep.”
EVIL QUEEN: I see. Though you are a fool, Mirror, you are a wise fool.
I appreciate your honesty.
MAGIC MIRROR: Honesty is a greater act of kindness than empty flattery.
35 EVIL QUEEN: Yes… (Thinks.) Tell me, then, Mirror… who is the fairest
of them all?
MAGIC MIRROR: (Nervous.) Honestly?

1
1 EVIL QUEEN: (Angry again.) Yes, honestly! Tell me true, Mirror, or else
I may smash you to bits.
MAGIC MIRROR: Very well. It is Snow White.
EVIL QUEEN: Snow White? Is that so? Tell me, Mirror, where is Snow
5 White? I mean to have a little… chat with her.
MAGIC MIRROR: Snow White is nowhere to be found, my queen. She
disappeared early this morning.
EVIL QUEEN: Disappeared?
MAGIC MIRROR: Yes. I overheard her talking to her friend the
10 huntsman. She told him she could no longer remain here in the
castle with you, and so she set off into the woods.
EVIL QUEEN: Alone?
MAGIC MIRROR: Yes, my queen.
EVIL QUEEN: I must find her immediately! Where is the huntsman? I’ll
15 have him find her and kill her.
MAGIC MIRROR: I’m afraid that won’t work, my queen. They are very
dear friends. The huntsman would surely betray you.
EVIL QUEEN: Hmmm… I suppose you’re right. Well then, you’ll have
to show me where she is.
20 MAGIC MIRROR: I cannot do that, my queen. As you know, my powers
are limited.
EVIL QUEEN: Then I shall increase your powers. One sec… (DISAPPEARS
from view for a moment. RE-APPEARS with a book of spells.) Where
is it now? (Flips pages.) Aha! Here it is. Once I place this new
25 enchantment upon you, Mirror, you will be able to let me see into
all of the mirrors throughout the kingdom! That should do the trick!
MAGIC MIRROR: Oh, about that enchantment… I really wouldn’t if I
were you. That enchantment gives all mirrors the power to—
EVIL QUEEN: Shh, Mirror! (Poses.) I’m enchanting! (As EVIL QUEEN
30 performs the spell, MAGIC MIRROR lurches and aches as if being
painfully transformed.)
Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
Gather reflections one and all.
Reflect what is on mind and heart.
35 And let all reflections play their part. (SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL
RING-A-DING. [NOTE: This SOUND EFFECT will indicate “magic
mirror” moments throughout the play.])
MAGIC MIRROR: (Now that the spell is done, returns to normal.
Better than normal, actually.) Whoa! Wow! Okay! Hey, I feel like a
40 million bucks!

2
1 EVIL QUEEN: Now let’s get to work, Mirror. Show me all of the other
mirrors in the Seven Realms. Somehow, some way, I must find
Snow White!
End of Scene One
Scene Two

CAMERA ON: RAPUNZEL is brushing her hair in her “mirror,” counting

5 each stroke and bored out of her mind after seventeen years of being
locked in her tower doing the same thing each and every day.
RAPUNZEL: Thirty-two thousand, five hundred eighty-two… thirty-
two thousand, five hundred eighty-three… thirty-two thousand,
five hundred eighty-four… (Catches a knot and struggles with it a
10 bit.) Stupid tangles! (Continues.) Thirty-two thousand, five hundred
eighty… (Tries to remember.) …four? No, five? Yes! Thirty-two
thousand, five hundred eighty-five… thirty-two thousand, five
hundred eighty-six… (SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING.
CAMERA ON PRINCE DASHING, who looks into his “mirror.” He
15 adjusts his collar, pulls a glove tight over his hand, then looks
much too close into his mirror to polish his teeth with that glove.
RAPUNZEL is naturally shocked to see him in her mirror, but he
doesn’t notice her.)
DASHING: (Toothy speech, as he polishes his teeth.) I jus’ can’t seen
20 to do anything adout these darn cothee sthains. (Finishes polishing
and smiles big, checking his teeth.) Well, I can’t give up coffee,
so… I don’t know what I’ll ever do about this!
RAPUNZEL: What?
DASHING: (Responds as if talking to himself.) I mean should I give up
25 coffee? (Looks way too close into the mirror again and examines his
teeth.) Maybe I should… These pearly whites just aren’t what they
used to be.
RAPUNZEL: Who are you?!
DASHING: (Still not noticing RAPUNZEL, looks OFF.) Me?! Come on,
30 Mother! Stop playing your games! You know who I am!
RAPUNZEL: I’m warning you! What kind of magic is this? (SOUND
EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING, indicating “magic” on PRINCE
DASHING’S end of the mirror.)
DASHING: What?! (Looks back into the mirror and sees RAPUNZEL.
35 Though there is some confusion about what’s happening, there is
instant chemistry between them.) Oh! What in—?! Who are you?
RAPUNZEL: I asked you first!
DASHING: No, you didn’t!
RAPUNZEL: Yes, I did!

1 DASHING: No, you— Oh, wait. That was you before?
RAPUNZEL: Before what?
DASHING: Before before! You know, asking who I was?
RAPUNZEL: Yes, it was me!
5 DASHING: Oh.
RAPUNZEL: So…
DASHING: So what?
RAPUNZEL: Who are you?
DASHING: Who are you?! And why are you in my mirror?
10 RAPUNZEL: Why are you in my mirror?
DASHING: I asked you fir— Wait, I’m in your mirror?
RAPUNZEL: Yes. How’d you get here?
DASHING: I dunno. How’d you get in my mirror?
RAPUNZEL: I dunno. (Beat. Both of them look around to see if anything
15 else is different.)
DASHING: This is so weird!
RAPUNZEL: You’re telling me!
DASHING: Are you spying on me? There are laws against spying on a
prince, you know.
20 RAPUNZEL: I’m not spying on you! Are you spying on me?
DASHING: No! I was just polishing my teeth— Wait, did you see that?
RAPUNZEL: I did.
DASHING: Oh, no. You did?
RAPUNZEL: Yes. (DASHING is suddenly self-conscious.) I mean… No,
25 no… it was… funny.
DASHING: Funny?
RAPUNZEL: I meant… it was charming.
DASHING: Oh! That was charming, was it? Watching me polish my
teeth? (He does it again, once again getting too close to the mirror
30 to polish the teeth and speech becoming toothy.) Thith ith charning,
ith it?
RAPUNZEL: (Laughs.) Yes! I mean… yes! It is! Oh, you can’t imagine
how charming it is for someone like… (Hesitant.) …well, someone
like me.
35 DASHING: (Pulls back. Serious.) Someone like you?
RAPUNZEL: Yes.
DASHING: What’s that supposed to mean?

4
1 RAPUNZEL: I mean… well, I haven’t ever met someone quite like you.
I’ve never really met anyone at all besides my mother. I’ve never
seen a reflection in this mirror apart from my own or my mother’s.
DASHING: (Surprised.) Wait, what?
5 RAPUNZEL: Mother says it’s for the best. And, oh, she’d kill me if she
knew I was talking to you right now and… (Realizes something.) …
are you real or just a dream?
DASHING: I’m real. (Touches himself, face, chest, shoulders.) At least…
yeah… pretty sure I’m real.
10 RAPUNZEL: And you’re a prince?
DASHING: In the flesh.
RAPUNZEL: And you’re out there… in the real world?
DASHING: (Looks around.) Yeah, I mean… I’m pretty sure. What is this
game you’re playing?
15 RAPUNZEL: Oh, it’s not a game. I’m sorry. I’ve just never seen the
real world before.
DASHING: What?!
RAPUNZEL: It’s just that I’m—
WITCH: (From OFF.) Rapunzel, Rapunzel!
20 RAPUNZEL: Oh, no, it’s Mother! I have to go.
DASHING: No, wait! Don’t—
RAPUNZEL: (Ducks OFF.) I’m sorry… (CAMERA OFF.)
DASHING: Hmmm… I wonder what that was all about. (Looks in the
mirror more closely, hoping to see RAPUNZEL along the edges of
25 the mirror, then sits back, rubs his eyes and tries to see more
closely, even trying to polish the mirror. But RAPUNZEL is gone.
CAMERA OFF.)
End of Scene Two
Scene Three

CAMERAS ON: Cinderella’s stepsisters, ERMINE and WEASETTA, and

her stepmother, STOATIA, are each in their own bedroom primping in
30 their “mirrors.” They pose, apply ridiculously overdone makeup, pop
pimples, pluck their eyebrows, and other silly business as they prepare
for Prince Impeccable’s royal ball. ALL wear ugly ballgowns and do not
yet see one another.
ERMINE: (Sings badly, like, very badly, and applies too much makeup
35 to her face.) La, la, la, la! La, la, la, la!
(Misses every note.) Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti… (Reaches for that high
note.) …do! (Looks in the mirror and smiles, pleased with herself.)

5
1 WEASETTA: (Plucks at an unwanted facial hair.) Ow! (Plucks more.)
Ew! Gross!
STOATIA: (Applies lipstick and practices what she’ll say to the king.
[NOTE: A section of her hair sticks out wildly—think Alfalfa from
5 The Little Rascals. The worse it is, the funnier it is.]) Hey there,
Kingy Poo! (To herself.) Kingy Pie? Kingy Face? No, Kingy Poo! Yes,
that’s the one! (Starts again.) Hey there, Kingy Poo! My daughters
have caught the prince’s eye. Has anyone caught your eye tonight?
(Flutters eyelashes.)
10 ERMINE: (Sings impromptu nonsense, hitting odd notes up and down
the scale, while applying a clownish amount of blush to her cheeks.)
Tonight I’m going to the royal ball.
And the prince is gonna dance with me all night long.
And we’re gonna get married and be together…
15 Forever…
And happily ever after…
And have little princes and princesses!
But mostly princesses!
Together…
20 You and me,
And me and you,
And no one else.
WEASETTA: (Has her bare foot in view as she digs dirt out from under
a big toenail with her fingernail.) Almost there. Gotta be picture
25 perfect for the prince! (Finishes.) Aha! (Inspects her foot more
closely and sniffs.) All clean! (Puts her foot down and sniffs her
fingers. Wrinkles her nose then shrugs it off. She does a pose in the
mirror and growls at herself as if she’s irresistible.) Rowr!
STOATIA: (Blots her lips with a cloth and makes lots of funny faces with
30 each “blot.”) Perfect! (Makes kissy faces.) Come here, Kingy Poo!
(Smooch, smooch, smooch! Notices the hair that is out of place.)
Oh, no! (Yells OFF.) Cinderella!
ERMINE: (Sings.) No, no one else!
Just me and you!
35 And we’re gonna get married!
WEASETTA: (Suddenly has a bloody nose. [See PRODUCTION NOTES.]
She grabs a handkerchief and pinches the bridge of her nose.
Nasally.) Oh, no! Oh, no! (Yells OFF.) Cinderella!
ERMINE: (Sings, now more funky than funny and with terrible dance
40 moves.) And we’re gonna dance all night!
Dance!
We’re gonna dance!
Dance, dance, dance!

1 We’re gonna— (Turns an ankle.) Ow, ow, owwy, ow, ow! (Yells OFF.)
Cinderella! (Now, ALL need Cinderella, but she doesn’t come to help
any of them.)
STOATIA: (Bats at the hair that’s out of place.) Oh, where is that girl?!
5 WEASETTA: (The handkerchief gets redder with more blood from her
nose. Yells OFF nasally.) Cinderella! (SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL
RING-A-DING. ALL can now see one another in their mirrors.)
ERMINE: (Now sits with her foot elevated. [NOTE: She could be barefoot
or for added humor, wear an unexpected shoe, such as a Converse
10 or bunny slipper.]) What are you doing here, sister?
WEASETTA: (More blood, more nasally.) What are you doing here?
STOATIA: Where’s Cinderella?
WEASETTA: I don’t know, Mother.
ERMINE: She’s probably out in the barn talking to those rats again.
15 WEASETTA: Or the birds.
STOATIA: But we’ve got to get to the ball! It’s almost time to— (SOUND
EFFECT: CLOCK CHIMES FIVE.) Oh, no! It is time to go! Come on,
girls! Let’s go get that prince!
WEASETTA: (Still with the bloody cloth, nasally.) Coming, Mother!
20 (CAMERA OFF.)
ERMINE: On my way! (Limps up onto her feet and CAMERA OFF.)
STOATIA: (Licks her hand and gives the out-of-place hair one more
go, but alas… it springs right back up.) Ah, well. I’ve got you in my
sights, Kingy Poo! (Kisses the mirror, then CAMERA OFF.)
End of Scene Three
Scene Four

25 CAMERA ON: STINKY is at the mirror in the washroom of the dwarves’

cottage, getting ready for a long day’s work. (As we see each dwarf, the
trick is to suggest that they are all using the same mirror—think seven
siblings sharing one bathroom. See PRODUCTION NOTES. As one dwarf
walks OFF and their camera goes off, another dwarf’s camera should
30 simultaneously come on and that dwarf walk on, as if they just took
over the washroom.) EVIL QUEEN’S camera is also on from the top of
the scene, as she is watching them through her own mirror.
STINKY: (Whistling, puts on a dwarf hat and adjusts it. Lifts an arm and
sniffs. It’s rank!) Ooh! (Makes a gagging face and grabs a basket
35 to hurl into. Then, grabs a bouquet of flowers and rubs them under
both armpits. Lifts an arm and sniffs a pit. Much better!) Ahh! That’s
better! (Cups a hand and breathes into it to smell.) Ugh! No! (Makes
another gagging face and coughs into the basket again.)

7
1 GLAMMY: (From OFF.) Come on, Stinky! It’s my turn!
STINKY: (Calls OFF.) Almost done! (Looks around. Sees a bottle marked
“Mint.” Grabs it and shows it to the mirror, smiling.) This oughta
do! (Takes a swig, swishes it all around, gargles, and then spits
5 into the basket. Holds up the basket, and we see it is now dripping
[optional]. Looks around, wondering what to do with it, then shrugs,
puts it back down, and walks OFF. CAMERA OFF. EVIL QUEEN rolls
her eyes. GLAMMY’S CAMERA ON.)
GLAMMY: (Struts ON as if walking a catwalk then looks in the “mirror” and
10 poses.) Oh, no, darling. This won’t do at all! (Hurries OFF, CAMERA
OFF. EVIL QUEEN yawns, very bored. PIGSTY’S CAMERA ON.)
PIGSTY: (Strolls ON a moment later, the picture of absolute filth. Hair is
a mess, a smudge of dirt on the cheek, etc.) Oh, yeah. This is bad.
SPEEDY: (From OFF.) I’ve got the mirror, next, Pigsty!
15 PIGSTY: Okay, Speedy. Hold your horses! (Looks in the” mirror.”) Real
bad. (Beat.) But not bad enough. (Looks around and grabs a dirty
handkerchief. Uses it to smudge more dirt on the other cheek.)
Perfect! (Ambles OFF. CAMERA OFF.)
EVIL QUEEN: Oh, Mirror, this bores me! A bunch of dwarves getting
20 ready for work? I’ll never find Snow White this way!
MIRROR: (CAMERA ON, now in pajamas and looking tired. Yawns and
stretches, disinterested, but still tries to be encouraging.) Just keep
at it. I’m sure you’ll find her eventually. (MIRROR and PIGSTY’S
CAMERAS OFF. EVIL QUEEN sighs. SPEEDY’S CAMERA ON.)
25 SPEEDY: (Rushes INTO the mirror frame. Washes face, brushes teeth,
etc., all very hurriedly while talking to herself.) Rush, rush, rush!
Gotta look our best for our new guest. Don’t want to disappoint
her! (Stops and looks at a pocket watch. Panics and goes faster.)
Oh, no! No time, no time! Come on, Speedy, you don’t wanna be
30 late! Gotta go, go, go!
SLUGGY: (From OFF. Speaks slowly.) Are you done in there, Speedy?
SPEEDY: (Calls OFF.) Just a second more, Sluggy! (Quickly finishes.) All
right! Now, let’s go! All yours, Sluggy! (Races OFF, CAMERA OFF.
EVIL QUEEN reacts. GLAMMY’S CAMERA ON.)
35 GLAMMY: (Struts ON, again as if on a catwalk. She now wears lots of
animal print, perhaps even a faux fur. Looks at herself in the mirror
and does a growl.) Hmmm… maybe?
SLUGGY: (From OFF, speaking slowly.) Hey, Glammy! It was my turn next!
GLAMMY: I’ll be in and out before you even get here, Sluggy! You
40 know how slow you can be.
SLUGGY: (From OFF.) Hey!

8
1 GLAMMY: Well, it’s true. (Looks in mirror.) No! This won’t do. Gotta
dress to impress our new guest! All yours, Sluggy! (Hurries OFF.
CAMERA OFF. SLUGGY’S CAMERA ON.)
SLUGGY: (Beat. Then another beat, because SLUGGY is very slow.
5 Eventually, SLUGGY comes ON, quite slowly.) Okay. Time to get
ready. (Brushes beard.) The new girl has tidied up the cottage so
well. I may as well make sure my beard is brushed.
BOUNCY: (From OFF.) Come on, Sluggy! I’ve got to do my morning exercises.
SLUGGY: (Looks in the mirror, satisfied.) Okay. All yours, Bouncy!
10 (Slowly walks away. CAMERA OFF. MIRROR’S CAMERA ON.)
EVIL QUEEN: Are you hearing this, Mirror?
MIRROR: Hearing what?
EVIL QUEEN: These dwarves seem to be hosting a guest in their
cottage. (Thinks.) Hmmm… I wonder…
15 MIRROR: Well, wake me when you’ve found her. I’m going back to bed.
(Yawns. CAMERA OFF. EVIL QUEEN’S remains ON as she continues
to watch the DWARVES.)
GLAMMY: (CAMERA ON. Catwalks ON again, this time wearing a
ballgown and feather boa. Calls OFF.) Don’t worry, Bouncy, I’ll be
20 quick. (Looks into mirror.) Oh, honey, no! (Calls OFF as she hurries
OFF.) All yours, Bouncy! (CAMERA OFF.)
BOUNCY: (CAMERA ON. After a beat, leaps ON and begins an exercise
routine.) Let’s go! Time to work it! (Does an aerobic routine to one
side.) And a one and a two and a three and a four! Switch sides!
25 (Does same in the other direction.) And one! And two! And three and
four! Let’s go!
BLINGY: (From OFF.) Yo! Come on, Bouncy! We don’t have all day!
BOUNCY: (Calls OFF, still working out.) I know, I know, Blingy! I just gotta
get my routine in! (To herself.) Step it up, now! (Does jumping jacks.)
30 BLINGY: (From OFF.) We don’t have time for this! We’ve gotta get to
the mines and work, work, work so we can come back and hang
with Snow White! (EVIL QUEEN reacts to this. She’s found her!)
BOUNCY: Alright, alright, Blingy, it’s all yours! (Does jumping jacks as
she moves OFF. CAMERA OFF.)
35 BLINGY: (CAMERA ON. ENTERS after a moment, covered in all kinds of
gold and jewels. Looks in the mirror and adjust all of the bling.) Nice!
Looking swuavee!
EVIL QUEEN: (SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING. BLINGY now
sees EVIL QUEEN.) Who are you?
40 BLINGY: (Confused.) Me? I’m Blingy? I like shiny things and I cannot
lie. (Shows off the bling.)

BLINGY: Uh… I live in a cottage in the forest. (Looks around.) Is this
a dream?
EVIL QUEEN: And is someone living with you?
5 BLINGY: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I live with my dwarf pals here. You like
our crib? (Gestures as if to show off the cottage.)
EVIL QUEEN: No, not them! You have a guest in your cotta— er… crib?
BLINGY: Oh, yeah! Her! She’s legit.
EVIL QUEEN: And what is her name again?
10 BLINGY: Snow White. Why?
EVIL QUEEN: Thank you, Bungee.

big deal?
EVIL QUEEN: (Offended.) Really, Mirror?
20 MIRROR: (Straightens up and does the spiel.) Right, right, right. So
sorry. Ahem. What is it, my queen, conqueror of the Seven Realms,
supreme sorceress of the Order of Magic, and ruler over all people,
including those who call you the Conjurer of Terror and the Mistress
of Malevolence and Mayhem, the dwarves who call you Magora the
25 Mighty Mage, the witches who call you Gothmora the Great, the
fairies who call you the Harbinger of Harm, and the giants of the
Sky Kingdom who likely call you by many names that nobody knows
because no one has ever met the giants?
EVIL QUEEN: No, you fool! Weren’t you listening? Snow White is
30 dwelling with the seven dwarves!
MIRROR: Oh! That’s wonderful, my queen, conqueror of the—
EVIL QUEEN: Shut up, Mirror! We must act at once!
MIRROR: What’s the plan?
EVIL QUEEN: I have a little something in mind.
35 MIRROR: As you would, your cleverness.
EVIL QUEEN: In the meantime, I need you to find out where that mirror
is. Find the dwarves’ cottage at once!
MIRROR: Yes, my queen. (CAMERAS OFF.)

 Scene Five

1 CAMERA ON: CINDERELLA is slumped in the frame, tired from the

day’s work. There are no words at the start of this, just her, in her
“mirror,” cleaning the dirt—and eventually tears—from her face.
CINDERELLA: (Continues to wash her face.) Oh, why must it all be so
5 hard? “Do the laundry, Cinderella!” “Wash the windows, Cinderella!”
“Where’s breakfast, Cinderella?” Why must it always be me, me,
me? (Looks deeper into the mirror.) Is this all I am meant to be? Just
an errand girl? (Wipes away the last of the dirt and looks more closely
into the mirror, really seeing herself. She’s beautiful! She touches her
10 cheek, now clean and soft, and begins to cry and blot her tears with
the cloth.) Look at me. I shouldn’t be so woeful. At least, I have the
mice and the birds to talk to. I have a home. (Sighs. Cries a bit more,
uncertain.) Do I have a home? (Beat.) Oh, surely, there is more to
life than this drudgery! I just wish I could be off with my family at the
15 ball… (She stands and dances with an imaginary partner, still a bit
tearfully. SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING. CAMERA ON FAIRY
GODMOTHER, who watches CINDERELLA quietly.) …all dressed up
and dancing… dancing…
FAIRY GODMOTHER: And you will be dancing!
20 CINDERELLA: What?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Wipe those ugly tears off your face, girl! They are
much more unbecoming than any of the dirt was.
CINDERELLA: Who are you?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: I’m your fairy godmother, dearie.
25 CINDERELLA: Oh?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Yes. And, seriously, wipe those tears away.
There’s no need for tears while I’m around. (Waves wand. SOUND
EFFECT: MAGIC. [NOTE: Use a different “magic” sound effect for
this, as it’s different magic here.]) Look, I’ve sent you a clean
30 handkerchief. (CINDERELLA looks around and picks up a clean
hanky.) Yes, that’s the one. No, more tears, dearie!
CINDERELLA: But… how is this happening? Why are you here?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: You made a wish, my dear. I’m here to see that
it comes true.
35 CINDERELLA: Through my bedroom mirror?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Well, yes. It seems the evil magic queen—you
know, the Harbinger of Harm?—has placed a great spell that has
enchanted all the mirrors in the Seven Realms. And now all mirrors
reflect what you most wish to see, whatever is on your heart and
40 mind, at any time. And for you, that is me.

11
1 CINDERELLA: But I don’t even know you!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Doesn’t matter, dearie. You made a wish! And
it’s time to send you off to the royal ball before it’s too late!
CINDERELLA: Oh, but I can’t attend the ball tonight! Just look at me!
5 FAIRY GODMOTHER: I am looking at you, dear! And I see a lovely
young woman who any prince would be honored to dance with!
CINDERELLA: But I’ve nothing to wear!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Nothing a little magic can’t fix! (Waves her wand.
SOUND EFFECT: MAGIC.)
10 CINDERELLA: (Eyes light up as if the shoes have magically appeared
before her. She holds up a pair of golden slippers.) Oh, Fairy
Godmother! They’re beautiful!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: And take a look on your dressing table.
CINDERELLA: (Looks OFF and grabs a beautiful dress, which she pulls
15 into view and then holds closely.) Oh, my! It’s perfect!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: And you’ll need a way to get to the palace.
(Thinks.) Hmmm… yes! I know just the thing! (CAMERA ON a
mouse, sniffing around. [NOTE: You can use a video of a mouse. If
you can’t find a suitable one, you can skip the video and only show
20 BUTTERSCOTCH when he appears in human form. CINDERELLA still
acts as if she can see him.])
CINDERELLA: Is that Butterscotch?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Your little mouse friend? Yes. Seems he’s
stumbled upon that old mirror in your barn. He’ll make a perfect
25 footman for your carriage. (Waves her wand. SOUND EFFECT:
MAGIC. The mouse disappears and BUTTERSCOTCH comes ON in
human form.)
BUTTERSCOTCH: (While human, still has mouse-like characteristics.
Sniffs around some more.) Cheese, cheese, cheese. Where’s that
30 cheese? Gotta find the cheese.
CINDERELLA: (Filled with joy.) Oh, my! Butterscotch! You make an
absolutely delightful human!
BUTTERSCOTCH: Cinderella? Is that you?
CINDERELLA: Yes, it’s me! It’s me, old friend!
35 BUTTERSCOTCH: (Notices his hands and feels his face.) And I’m… human?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: You are! And now you’ll see that Cinderella gets
to the royal ball immediately!
BUTTERSCOTCH: (Stands straight and salutes.) Butterscotch, reporting
for duty! I won’t let you down, Cinderella!
40 FAIRY GODMOTHER: See that you don’t.

little cheese in it for me? (Rubs his fingers together as if asking for
a tip.)
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Very well. (Waves her wand. SOUND EFFECT: MAGIC.)
5 BUTTERSCOTCH: (Grabs cheese from in front of him and starts to
nibble. With a full mouth.) Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: A carriage with six white horses awaits outside.
Butterscotch will manage the coach. Now, hurry and get ready,
Cinderella! For the time ticks away and the magic only lasts until
10 midnight tonight.
CINDERELLA: Midnight?
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Yes, and you mustn’t stay a moment
longer. Understood?
CINDERELLA: Yes! Oh, thank you, Fairy Godmother! Thank you, thank
15 you, thank you!
BUTTERSCOTCH: (Still nibbles away at the cheese. With mouth full.)
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you!
FAIRY GODMOTHER: Enough of that! It’s time to go! (CINDERELLA and
BUTTERSCOTCH snap into action and rush OFF. CAMERAS OFF.)

Scene Six

20 CAMERA ON: EVIL QUEEN wears a hooded cloak and puts the finishing
touches on her old crone disguise for her visit to see Snow White at
the dwarves’ cottage.
EVIL QUEEN: Well? What you do you think, Mirror?
MIRROR: You look lovely, my queen?
25 EVIL QUEEN: Seriously?
MIRROR: I mean… ahem… my queen, conqueror of the Seven
Realms, supreme sorceress of the Order of Magic, and ruler over
all people—
EVIL QUEEN: No, no, no! Not that again!
30 MIRROR: Then what is it?
EVIL QUEEN: I don’t want to look lovely! I want to look hideous!
MIRROR: Yes, righty-o! Very hideous, my queen.
EVIL QUEEN: (Examines her reflection more closely.) Hmmm…
something’s missing.
35 MIRROR: How about a wart?
EVIL QUEEN: Oh, yes… yes, that’s good! (Looks around, finds a cherry,
and holds it into view.) This should do! (Palms the cherry and rubs

13
1 her hands together. With a little sleight-of-hand, she drops the cherry
and picks up a “wart” from the counter in front of her, then places
the wart on her crooked nose.) Perfect! (Moves her head side to
side, inspecting her new look.)
5 MIRROR: You look like a prune gone bad.
EVIL QUEEN: And that’s precisely what I was going for! (Cackles with
delight.) And now for the final piece of my plan… (Holds up an
apple.) The poisoned apple. Just one little bite of this and Snow
White will be no more! (She cackles more, completely delighted with
10 herself. She pulls her hood up over her head. CAMERAS OFF.)
End of Scene Six
Scene Seven

CAMERA ON: RAPUNZEL is in a panic.

RAPUNZEL: Prince! Hello, Prince, are you there! Prince? (To herself.)
Oh, I’m so stupid! I don’t even know his name. He never told me
his name and I didn’t think to ask! (To mirror.) Prince? Are you out
15 there? Er… are you in here? (To herself, frustrated.) Oh, how am I
to do this?
DASHING: (CAMERA ON but nobody is there. From OFF.) I’ll be right
there, Mother!
RAPUNZEL: No, no! It’s me! Prince?! Are you there?
20 DASHING: (Yells from OFF.) Just a second, Mom! I’ve just got to get
this schmutz out of my teeth! (Appears ON CAMERA and looks at
his teeth in the mirror.)
RAPUNZEL: Prince!
DASHING: (Sees her.) Oh! (Composes himself.) Ahem, sorry about that.
25 (Adjusts his collar to appear more dapper.) Well, hello!
RAPUNZEL: There’s no time for that! You must come and get me out
of here at once!
DASHING: Out of where?
RAPUNZEL: (Speaks rapid-fire and breathlessly.) Right. So… long story
30 short, my mother—well at least I thought she was my mother until
you and I talked last time and she came in and, well… she asked
who I was talking to and so I came clean and she went off the
handle and told me everything—so many things I never knew—
which is that she’s really a witch and not really my mother at all,
35 but she took me from my mother and father when I was an infant
after my father stole some vegetables from her garden—which
seems really over the top, you know? Anyways, she’s kept me
here, locked in this tower for my entire life and acted like she was

14
1 my mom this whole time and I’ve never seen another person until
you came along in my mirror and if you’re really real then I need
you to come and find me and rescue me! (Takes a big deep breath.)
DASHING: (Beat.) Vegetables?
5 RAPUNZEL: I know, right?!
DASHING: I hate vegetables.
RAPUNZEL: Okay, getting off point here. I need you to come and help!
DASHING: Oh, right! That part! Yes! I will come and rescue you.
RAPUNZEL: Awesome.
10 DASHING: Great.
RAPUNZEL: Hurry, please.
DASHING: Where is it I’m going again?
RAPUNZEL: Oh, right. Um… so… it’s a tall tower with no doors.
DASHING: Okay… Any other distinguishing features you can point out?
15 RAPUNZEL: It’s deep in the forest. Nothing but trees outside my window.
DASHING: Which forest?
RAPUNZEL: I dunno! The Great Forest? She’s never told me!
DASHING: Okay, well that narrows it down a bit. There’s the Great
Northern Forest and the Great Eastern Forest…
20 RAPUNZEL: Okay, so it can’t be too hard?
DASHING: …and, of course, the Great Timber Forest of Neverwood,
the Great Hunting Forest of Hamlin, and the Forest of Earl Boykins
the Great.
RAPUNZEL: So, you’re saying it could be any forest?
25 DASHING: No, no! Just the great forests… Are there any other clues
you can give me?
RAPUNZEL: Hmmm… (Looks OFF, as if out her tower window.) There
are some birds, a couple of rose bushes on the forest floor…
DASHING: What sort of birds?
30 RAPUNZEL: Nothing special, really. Just some kipperwhites,
specktails, jollywhats, and an occasional morning-gale.
DASHING: Did you say specktails?
RAPUNZEL: Yes. We have lots of those here.
DASHING: Then, I know precisely where to find you!
35 RAPUNZEL: Really?
DASHING: Indeed. Specktails are native to the Great Hunting Forest of
Hamlin… and… they’re non-migratory. Hunters travel far and wide
to seek them out.
RAPUNZEL: Not to kill them, I hope!

15
RIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED BEFORE REPRODUCING THIS SCRIPT
1 DASHING: No, no! Just to see them. Hunters, you know… rare bird
hunters, like me… we travel far and wide hunting rare and exotic
birds, just to see them firsthand.
RAPUNZEL: (Blushes.) You love birds?
5 DASHING: I do! And, thus, I know precisely where to find you!
RAPUNZEL: I love birds, too!
DASHING: Well, then once I find you and help you escape from that
tower, maybe I can show you lots of other birds—ones you’ve
never seen before.
10 RAPUNZEL: Oh, I’d love that!
WITCH: (From OFF.) Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
RAPUNZEL: Oh, no! She’s back! We don’t have much time. (Thinks
fast.) Okay, really quick, my name’s—
DASHING: Rapunzel. I heard her say it last time.
15 RAPUNZEL: And your name?
DASHING: I’m Prince Edward Dashing the Third.
RAPUNZEL: Okay, she’s coming. I’ve got to go! Please come quickly!
(Races OFF.)
DASHING: I’m on my way! (Starts to leave.)
20 RAPUNZEL: (Races back ON.) Oh, and one more thing.
DASHING: Yes?
RAPUNZEL: You’re gonna have to climb my hair. (CAMERA OFF.)
DASHING: Climb your…? (Looks close but she’s gone. DASHING gazes
longingly.) Hmm. Okay. I’ll be there as soon as I can… Rapunzel.

teeth. CAMERA OFF.)

Scene Eight

CAMERA ON: PRINCE CHARMING speaks into his “mirror.”

CHARMING: Oh, Mirror! I’m tired of being a prince! All my mother and
father want from me is to find a princess. I’ve been matched to this
30 princess and that princess and that princess and this princess!
Not a one of them suit me! I just know there’s someone out there
for me, Mirror, but is this all I’m meant to be? Just matched to
some princess out there, somewhere? Or is there some higher
purpose in this age-old tradition? I just wish I knew what I was
35 supposed to do! (SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING. SNOW
WHITE’S CAMERA ON. We see her sweeping the floor at the dwarves’
cottage. CHARMING mutters to himself.) What’s this? Who is that
girl? (Before he can find out, there is a KNOCK.)
16
1 SNOW WHITE: (Calls.) Come in! (EVIL QUEEN ENTERS fully cloaked.
[NOTE: Okay, this is where we need to cheat a little since SNOW
WHITE and EVIL QUEEN need to be in the same room together. So
instead of the actor playing EVIL QUEEN, this cloaked EVIL QUEEN,
5 whose face is completely hidden, should be portrayed by someone
else in the household of the actor playing SNOW WHITE.] She holds
an apple. CHARMING watches as they interact silently and EVIL
QUEEN holds out the apple.)
CHARMING: No! Don’t—! (But it’s too late. SNOW WHITE takes a bite
10 and falls to the floor.) What have you done? (EVIL QUEEN cackles.
CAMERA OFF of SNOW WHITE and EVIL QUEEN. CHARMING grabs his
mirror.) What has happened? Tell me, Mirror! What has happened?
MIRROR: (CAMERA ON.) Hello, Prince Charming!
CHARMING: What?! Who are you?
15 MIRROR: Well, I’m your mirror.
CHARMING: My… what?
MIRROR: I’m your mirror. And, well, I’m everyone’s mirror, really.
But… apart from one other, you, Prince Charming, are the only one
who has ever spoken to me like I matter. Like a friend.
20 CHARMING: Mirror? You’re… real?
MIRROR: I am.
CHARMING: (Stoked.) I knew there was someone in there!
MIRROR: There is always someone in the mirror. (Beat.) But look,
there’s no time to lose. You see… my master, the evil queen,
25 conqueror of the Seven Realms, supreme sorceress of the Order
of Magic, and ruler over all people, including those who call her the
Conjurer of Terror and the…
MIRROR/CHARMING: (Together.) …the Order of Magic, and—
MIRROR: You know of whom I speak. She’s placed a spell upon all the
30 mirrors in the kingdom, and she wishes to kill the princess Snow
White. She was the one you just witnessed giving a poisoned apple
to Snow White.
CHARMING: That was the evil queen, the Conjurer of Terror?
MIRROR: The very same.
35 CHARMING: And that girl sweeping was a princess?
MIRROR: Yes!
CHARMING: Oh!
MIRROR: So, I have come to tell you, after all these years of speaking
to me… that you must go and find Snow White!
40 CHARMING: Yes! Of course! But why have you only come now?

17
1 MIRROR: I wasn’t able to. Long ago, the evil queen accused me
of stealing. I pleaded my innocence. You see, I was framed!
The queen refused to believe me and cursed me to become her
servant. Since that day, I’ve been trapped in these reflections and
5 visible only to her, always at her beck and call. I wish to be set free
from her control. And you and Snow White can break the curse by
overthrowing the evil queen.
CHARMING: Okay. How will I find the princess?
MIRROR: I will show you the way. Just take me with you.
10 CHARMING: Oh. Okay, but you’re… (Grabs at the mirror frame. [NOTE:
A tablet for this bit would be handy.]) … you’ve always just been…
(Struggles.) …glued to the wall…
MIRROR: Come on, man! Find your higher purpose!
CHARMING: (After more struggle, “detaches” the mirror from his wall.)
15 Oh! There we go!
MIRROR: And on we go! And we’ve not a moment to lose! Snow White’s
fate rests in your hands, Prince Charming! (And with that, CHARMING
tucks the mirror [the tablet] under his arm. CAMERA OFF.)
End of Scene Eight
Scene Nine

CAMERA ON: PRINCE IMPECCABLE inspects a golden slipper, upset

20 that he cannot find the one whose foot will fit.
IMPECCABLE: It’s so dainty! I’ve tried it on every girl in the kingdom
with no luck. Every foot is too large to fit this shoe. No human
foot could fit in this shoe! (Looks into mirror, shocked by an idea.)
Wait…! What if she wasn’t human? Perhaps it was some witch’s
25 curse and she placed a spell on some animal like a bird or a mouse
or a newt and transformed them into human form and that’s the
girl I danced with at the ball. That could explain it. (Thinks.) No…
that doesn’t explain it. (Rethinks.) Or could it? (Beat.) Nah! It’s
impossible. And even if it were possible, who would even do such
30 a thing, really…? Transform a mouse into a human just for some
fancy ball? (Looks at the shoe.) Still, I just wish I could find the girl
who fits this shoe! Even if she’s not human.
CINDERELLA: ((SOUND EFFECT: MAGICAL RING-A-DING. CAMERA ON
CINDERELLA, who washes dirt off her face. Sees IMPECCABLE,
35 excited.) Is that you, Prince?!
IMPECCABLE: I am Prince Impeccable, yes. And who are you to ask?
CINDERELLA: (Bummed he doesn’t recognize her.) Oh. I’m… well, nobody…

18
RIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED BEFORE REPRODUCING THIS SCRIPT
1 IMPECCABLE: Hmmm… well, while you’re here, I have a weird question
to ask. If I asked mother and father, or the royal stewards, they’d
think I’ve gone mad!
CINDERELLA: You can ask me anything.
5 IMPECCABLE: Okay, um… do you think it is possible for an animal to
be transformed into a person?
CINDERELLA: I do.
IMPECCABLE: And how would you know?
CINDERELLA: Because I’ve seen it with my own eyes. My fairy
10 godmother transformed a mouse friend of mine into a footman to
assist me to go to…
IMPECCABLE: To where?
CINDERELLA: To the royal ball.
IMPECCABLE: Oh! Really? Now we’re getting somewhere! I thought I
15 might be crazy.
CINDERELLA: You’re not crazy. I was there. And we danced all
night long.
IMPECCABLE: We did?
CINDERELLA: We did. Oh…! (Quickly washes more dirt off her face and
20 smiles into the camera.) …is that better?
IMPECCABLE: Can it be? Is it really you?
CINDERELLA: (Calls OFF.) Fairy Godmother? Fairy Godmother? Little
help here? (Sighs. Thinks. Gets an idea.) Here. (Holds her hair up
into a tight bun.) Does this help at all?
25 IMPECCABLE: Yes, yes! Of course! It is you! I recognize you, but
just… I didn’t expect all the dirt on your face.
CINDERELLA: I’m sorry.
IMPECCABLE: No, it’s fine. You’re lovely! Even covered in dirt, I
just… I’ve been hoping to find you, searching the kingdom far and
30 wide, hoping to find the girl whose foot would fit this shoe, and
each and every—
CINDERELLA: (Holds up the matching slipper.) You mean this shoe?
IMPECCABLE: (Ecstatic.) Yes! Well… (Indicates his shoe.) …the left
one of course. But now I’ve found…
35 CINDERELLA/IMPECCABLE: (Holds up her shoe.) …the right one.
(CAMERAS OFF.)

 Scene Ten

1 CAMERA ON: SNOW WHITE wears a wedding dress and prepares

herself for her wedding day.
SNOW WHITE: Hmmm… I’ve never been much for mirrors. Why should
I look upon myself when there are so many others to look upon
5 and fawn over?
MIRROR: (CAMERA ON.) And that is why you are the fairest of them all,
Snow White. You’ve never looked into the mirror very much at all
in your life. You look for the beauty in others, rather than looking
for it in yourself.
10 SNOW WHITE: Oh, Mirror!
MIRROR: No, it’s true. I’ve heard it said that beauty is only skin deep.
Inner beauty is more lovely than any mirror’s reflection.
SNOW WHITE: Oh, Mirror, you are more reflective than you realize! I
just wish we could have set you free from the curse!
15 MIRROR: Oh, no! You have! You already did when the queen cast her
spell. She cast it because of you. And now that you’re marrying the
prince and will be queen, I’m no longer under her power. I am truly
free. And I can be connected with all of the kingdom now through
everyone’s mirrors! And all of the kingdom can be connected to
20 one another through me and those reflections! A true happily
ever after! I couldn’t ask for anything more! (Beat.) Here comes
Rapunzel now!
RAPUNZEL: (CAMERA ON. Now married to Prince Dashing, she’s trying
to style her shorter hair with not much luck. It looks a mess.) Oh,
25 hey, Snow! Congrats on the wedding day!
SNOW WHITE: Thank you! And belated congrats to you on yours!
RAPUNZEL: Ugh! (Messes with her hair.) I’m starting to think it was a
bad idea to cut my own hair. But I was confined in that tower for so
long, I had no other option! Got any tips for a girl with short hair?
30 SNOW WHITE: It looks lovely, Rapunzel! Just go with it!
CINDERELLA: (CAMERA ON. Now married to Prince Impeccable, she is
clean and wears fine clothes.) Good morning, Snow! Are you ready
for your big day?
SNOW WHITE: As ready as I’ll ever be.
35 CINDERELLA: What shoes are you wearing?
SNOW WHITE: (Holds up her shoes. They are blue.) Something blue…
CINDERELLA: Excellent choice! I’m still getting used to wearing
these… (Holds up the golden slippers.) …but I don’t really know
why I should wear them around the castle all day when these

20
1 others are so much more comfortable. (Holds up her dirty flats
from her former days.)
SNOW WHITE: You should wear whatever suits you! (Beat. Gets teary.)
RAPUNZEL: What is it, Snow?
5 CINDERELLA: You mustn’t weep! It’s your wedding day!
SNOW WHITE: No, no, it’s just… I’m so happy to see you both, and I
so wish you could be here with me.
RAPUNZEL: We do, too!
CINDERELLA: We’ll be together very soon!
10 SNOW WHITE: I know. We cannot be together now, but I’m so glad
that we can still be together this way.
CINDERELLA: It won’t be long before everything is back to normal.
(SOUND EFFECT: CLOCK CHIMES.)
SNOW WHITE: Well, it’s time…
15 RAPUNZEL: You look lovely, Snow!
CINDERELLA: Congratulations!
SNOW WHITE: Wait, before you go… What’s it really like being married
to a prince? Is it really like they say? Is it happily ever after? (Beat,
as RAPUNZEL and CINDERELLA think about how to respond. They
20 speak rapidly and over one another.)
RAPUNZEL: You’ll figure it out—
CINDERELLA: It’s a matter of perspective, really—
RAPUNZEL: Just take it one day at a time—
CINDERELLA: Always put yourself in the other’s shoes and you’ll
25 be alright!
SNOW WHITE: Thanks, gals! Well, I’m off! (CAMERAS OFF
for PRINCESSES.)
MIRROR: (CAMERA ON.) And well… life wasn’t exactly a fairy tale every
day, but nevertheless… they all lived happily ever after!

 COSTUME SUGGESTIONS
The suggestions below are just that—suggestions. They should give
actors an ideal to work towards if they are trying to create their own
costumes at home.
EVIL QUEEN wears flattering regal attire. In Scenes Eight and Ten, she
wears a hooded cloak to be an old crone.
MIRROR wears the garments of a royal servant, except in Scene Five
when MIRROR wears pajamas.
RAPUNZEL and CINDERELLA wear plain dresses.
The PRINCES wear regal prince costumes, jacket, gloves—the works.
STOATIA, ERMINE, and WEASETTA wear ridiculous ball gowns. Makeup
they are applying should be over the top as well.
DWARVES wear dwarf hats and tunics. SLUGGY specifically has a
beard, but other male dwarves may wear beards, as well.
GLAMMY first appears in a normal dwarf hat and tunic, then in all kinds
of animal print and fur, then a ballgown with a feather boa.
SNOW WHITE wears a flattering dress in Scene Eight and a wedding
dress in Scene Ten.

EFFECTS NOTES
To create WEASETTA’S bloody nose effect, wrap a blood capsule in a
tissue or cloth and burst it after she applies the “handkerchief” to her
nose. If a theatrical blood capsule is not available, you can make one
with a plastic sandwich bag, corn syrup, and red food coloring. Mix the
food coloring and corn syrup until it appears the color of blood. Add
water to get the right consistency so it will flow into the tissue. Put a
small amount into the sandwich bag and twist tightly so that it can be
concealed inside the tissue and easily burst when it’s time.
To give the illusion that all DWARVES are in the same cottage,
play the scene with each dwarf against a plain wall with one or two
distinguishing elements, like a framed painting that all dwarves can
have in the background, or a broom leaning against the wall. As long as
there are similar elements in each picture, it will be enough to cast the
illusion of them being in the same place. Alternatively, all the dwarves
can download the same virtual background, such as a stone wall.
In Scene Nine, a tablet should be used to create the illusion of PRINCE
CHARMING pulling his mirror off the wall and tucking it under his arm.

23
 FLEXIBLE CASTING NOTES
The roles of MIRROR, DWARVES, and BUTTERSCOTCH may all be
played as male or female with some simple pronoun changes.
To present this live or livestreamed, no actor should be in back-to-back
scenes in order to allow time for a costume or background change.
With this stipulation, the minimum cast size is 2M, 6F and 4 roles
either. One example of such doubling would look like this:
Player One plays EVIL QUEEN.
Player Two plays MAGIC MIRROR.
Player Three plays RAPUNZEL and GLAMMY.
Player Four plays PRINCE DASHING, STINKY, and PRINCE
IMPECCABLE.
Player Five plays WEASETTA and CINDERELLA.
Player Six plays PIGSTY and PRINCE CHARMING.
Player Seven plays STOATIA and FAIRY GODMOTHER.
Player Eight plays ERMINE and BUTTERSCOTCH.
Player Nine plays SLUGGY and SNOW WHITE.
Player Ten plays BOUNCY and WITCH’S VOICE.
Player Eleven plays SPEEDY.
Player Twelve plays BLINGY.
For an even smaller cast, the same nine players can create all the
scenes with DWARVES, EVIL QUEEN, and MIRROR covering all other
roles. However, this will require each scene to be recorded separately
then edited together since there will be no time for costume or
