The Tooth Fairy hates her job! The Wicked Witch isn’t really so wicked! One hundred fantasy monologues reveal what characters like Cinderella and Captain Hook might really say if given the chance. It’s fun, it’s cool, and it’s offbeat to portray the “other side of the story” of these famous fantasy characters. Each monologue in this theatre text is delightfully preposterous and hilariously different. Fifty guys and fifty girls can choose the fantasy character of their choice. How does scissor-happy Rapunzel really feel about her long, long hair? Who is this not-so-jolly Santa Claus? And is Little Red Riding Hood a secret agent? A wide selection of monologues for classroom use, contests, or as part of a variety show.
