The One-Line: The local drama teacher wrote her own play by combining the stories of Dracula and Sleeping Beauty, but due to vampire comedy, sleep deprivation, energy drinks, and the actress playing Maleficent being the real Maleficent, the production spirals out of control until it is unrecognizable.

Synopsis: Yikes! The local high school drama teacher wrote her own version of Sleeping Beauty by combining the Princess’s tale with the story of Dracula! But rehearsals aren’t going so well. The Queen keeps dropping the baby princess, Sleeping Beauty keeps falling asleep, Dracula wants to be a stand-up comedian, the Green Fairy can only find a lime-green dress and insist that everyone call her the Lime-Green Fairy, the Tech Guy wants to be in the show, and some of the actors think that Maleficent maybe the real Maleficent. On top of these production nightmares, when the director asks for more choreography in the final fight scene, the actors think she means dance choreography and add it to opening night. Frustrated that she keeps falling asleep during rehearsal, Briar Rose drinks several energy drinks to stay awake during the performance. Her subsequent sugar high and final crash, causes this crazy production to change beyond even the director’s recognition.
