Written by Griffen McDonald

Eric, known sometimes to his friends as the mighty Sir Knightsalot, is a 10-year-old medieval boy who aspires to become a knight one day… even if the way he plays is a little different than the other kids. When his village and the kingdom are threatened by a mysterious dragon, Eric and his friends must use what makes them unique to save the day!

Cast of Characters

·       OLIVE/PRINCESS PERFECT (MAKE-BELIEVE), Dustin’s 11-year-old sister, very empathetic and possibly too smart for her own good

The Rainbow Fish Musical

(via SRT)April 20 – May 12, 2024

BOOK, MUSIC AND LYRICS BY AUSTIN ZUMBRO

With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his (or her!)  kind.  When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.  Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

With a bubbly, energetic score and a script that invites wonderful creativity and flexibility, the universal message at the heart of this delightful musical becomes much more than just a simple children’s story.

Adapted from the book by Marcus Pfister, translated into English by J.  Alison James, with illustrations by Marcus Pfister.

CHARACTERS:

·       Rainbow Fish: The Sheltered Prince/Princess. Young, naïve, and self-centered. Their self-worth has been defined by their beauty their entire life.

·       Little Fish: A kid-fish, unafraid and curious, but also aware that those qualities don’t always add up to positive social interactions.

·       Starfish: the court jester. A happy unflappable simpleton (doubles as Ms. Minnow: the teacher, gentle, guiding)

·       Octopus: The soothsayer. A sage, handy cave-dweller who lives far from the coral reef (doubles as Pufferfish: the stuffy aristocrat, style editor for the Coral Chronicle & Hermit Crab: a kid-crab, a happy unflappable nerd)

·       Sardine: A kid-fish, sarcastic (doubles as Clownfish: another stuffy aristocrat. Garden society president annoyed by circus clown remarks.)
