Music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur
It's a mess, what a mess, everybody's under stress! And still they come to summer camp! Those goofy dudes from Camp John Smith take refuge in an exclusive resort for girls, and, before they're through, both places are tottering on the edge of disaster. Totally! Runaways, spoiled campers, poison ivy, confused health inspectors and even a moth-eaten buffalo mix in with the madcap action. Since both camps are deemed "unfit for habitation," what's to be done?

Music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur
Is Ever After really as happy as everyone expected? In a hilarious parody of daytime TV, host Sally Lizzie Jesse Donatello-Griffin wonders if time truly heals all wounds. She invites Cinderella and her middle-aged beauty-impaired stepsisters to reconcile with each other after being estranged for 20 years. What about Snow White and the Evil Queen? This hysterical fractured fairy tale has it all: a gossiping clairvoyant mirror, an unfortunate prince who is turning slowly back into a frog and even Jiminy Cricket, now an occupational therapist and author of the book My Life as Your Conscience. The musical is punctuated by questions from obnoxious studio audience members and ridiculously funny infomercials for fairy tale related products!
