Three classic fairy tales (The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Goldilocks and the Three Bears) begin in their usual once upon a time fashion; however, this time things change on the way to happily ever after as the pigs wonder what life would be like if the wolf were not always at their door, the billy goats gruff decide they can't face another trip-trap over the troll's bridge, and Papa Bear has had enough of the meddlesome little Goldilocks!

Assisted by The Voice (struggling to narrate the changing stories) and three Stagehands (desperately trying to juggle sets to keep the stories straight), the three trios join forces to rewrite their stories, ridding themselves of their respective villains by exchanging them.

"This excellent show for a company of young actors provides roles for many levels of experience for a large group of both boys and girls. These are characters that young people have grown up with; yet, the humor that follows the interweaving of the classic stories is sophisticated and fun."
