thus? It seems Her Royal Highness the Queen has rather royal high
standards for her heir. What’s more, she has decreed that until
there is held a royal wedding there will be no nuptials of any kind!
Naturally, the townspeople (certainly the eligible ladies and gents) are rather
anxious at this unnatural state of affairs. Or, er, lack of
affairs. Seizing the initiative (and an offstage steed), a noble, brave,
and yes, handsome knight sets out on a quest to find a worthy woman for woyal
wooing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

head! But little does she realize that, in order to succeed, she will
have to meet a never-before-met challenge both tall and…small.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Winnifred</b> (25+) – Our heroine. Spririted
and fun, gracious and friendly, with perhaps a quirk or two. Most of all,
self-confidence personified (and for our story, a good physical comedienne,
too)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Queen Aggravain</b> (50s-60s) – The domineering

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Dauntless</b> (30s-40s) – The long-frustrated
prince, forever hopeful of finding a bride. Meek and good, if maybe a
little too meek and good<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Lady Larken</b> (18-20s) – A member of the royal
court, she is the “girl most likely to ___.” While not
exactly a dreamer, she is a happy romantic, and just wild about…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Wizard</b> (40s+) – Right hand henchman to the
queen. Devious, conniving, cheats on his taxes. Actor may be
left-handed<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Minstrel</b> (20s+, male or female) – Our intrepid
narrator. Have lute, will travel<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Jester</b> (20s+, male or female) – A jester<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Note: The Minstrel and Jester will mingle and
ad-lib amongst the audience pre-curtain<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>King Sextimus</b> (50s-60s) – Warm, beloved, grand
liege of the land. How unfortunate to be a victim of a curse that has
rendered him mute, only able to communicate with gesture and pantomime.
Nothing to sing, no lines to memorize? It’s good to be king!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Possible adds: townspeople, children (able to sing and move)<o:p></o:p></p>
