Shortly Ago, in a theater very, very close by, you saw a show…
If you have this Study Guide in your hands, chances are that you recently saw a
performance of The Mixed-Up Fairy Tale presented by Page Turner Adventures.
In case you had a memory spell cast on you and you forgot what happened,
here’s a brief recapThe Short Story
A 100-year sleeping spell has been placed on Beauty! To break the spell the
audience must convince Red Riding Hood to give up her cape, discover the
secret under grandma’s bed, climb a beanstalk, and retrieve a golden spoon from
a real giant!
A Cinderella Story!
Page Turner Adventures
began when creators Riley
Roam and Kenny Mikey
wondered what would
happen if they combined
Interactive Storytelling with
Circus Skills. Since then,
they’ve been sparking
imagination, curiosity and
laughter through
performances that involve
the entire audience in
comical quests of craziness.
The Story Continues
