Stone Soup...

Youth Conservatory
Past Production - October 2008
by Karen Boettcher-Tate
Directed by Wendy Kessler

The town of Whisker has been terrorized by dragons. When two knights vanquish the monsters, they are instant celebrities. Unfortunately, Lillian Scum hates the knights because she wants all honor for destroying the dragons to go to Rafferty, her very handsome (yet rather unintelligent) son. She has all but given up on Rocky, her gentle, eldest son, who wants to become a chef. Imagine her glee when Rafferty discovers that the knights are really girls in disguise. Now, everybody knows a "girl" can't fight dragons, so Rafferty and his mother succeed in convincing the town that HE won the dragon fight. Rocky comes to the knights' defense, but the citizens turn their back on him. They even refuse to give him and the two girls a bite to eat! But Rocky won't give up and he helps the knights cook up a pot of that old favorite--STONE SOUP. How Rafferty's plot is exposed and how he gets his much deserved "reward" adds to the FUN!
