BEAT Children’s Theatre is very excited to announce its Summer 2022 play…. (drum roll)… Stefanie Hero, by Mark Medoff!! Those who have known BEAT since the early days will recognize this hysterical play from our 2011 season. For all our current actors, however, this will be a new adventure!
Imagine: You are a princess. Your father has left the kingdom to go off and be a hero. Your mother is more concerned with getting her nails done than running the kingdom, or the family. You have THREE annoying younger siblings who are always causing trouble… and YOU find yourself in charge of everything. This is the plight of Stefanie. On top of it all, she is being pursued by the most obnoxious evil sorcerer who has put spells on all the remaining members of the family, and now she must go face a giant dragon in order to set things right. A story that bring the adventure of The Princess Bride together with goofy characters reminiscent of Shrek and the saucy humor of Monty Python”… this laugh-out-loud play reminds us that even in the craziest world we can still be our own hero.
