Based on a scenario by Carlo Gozzi and inspired by his original project, The Love of Three Oranges is a wild raucous slapstick comedy. A comedy in three acts. Prince Tartaglia's life is filled with misery until an evil witch and her equally evil henchmen concoct a plan to kill him by sending him on a quest for three giant oranges. This quest, however, soon proves more fruitful than he could have imagined. Once he leaves the sheltered world of the castle he finds a friend in a clown, love in an orange, and most of all laughter in everything he meets. Throw in witches, wizards, princesses, an effeminate unionized devil, a few ferocious inanimate objects, melodramatic monarchs and a wild narrator who isn't sure how far removed from the story he is and what you have in the end is a flurry of comedy, parody, and quality.

YouthPLAYS enlisted fourteen playwrights ranging from established names to exciting newcomers to offer their theatrical insights on this serious problem facing today’s teens. The result is Bullying, Ink., a flexible collection of ten-minute plays that may be produced in any order (and with any plays left out). We’ll navigate the dangerous waters of social media (Log Off), take a darkly comic look inside the heads of a trio of bullies (Bully Issues), and meet students who have always been the “other” (There Is No Down). We’ll bear witness to the daily cycle of literal and figurative violence (A Loser Like You), one that can push young people to the ultimate breaking point (Cracked Sky). But we’ll also see the power of hope (Pick Nick) and of people to come together (Her Reign). Join us for these and many more stories, as we laugh a little, perhaps cry a little, and hopefully think a little. Ideal for advanced middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities and community theatres. Published and performances licensed by YouthPLAYS (www.youthplays.com), publishers of plays for young actors and audiences.

A funny, flexible fairy tale comedy with something for everyone! 
It’s bedtime bedlam when a washed up clown tries to sell three unruly princesses on something other than their fairy tale favorites. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty... these are just a few beloved classics that Truffaldino will NOT be reading tonight because you’ve heard them a zillion times already and, frankly, he’s sick of them. Instead, he’ll be dusting off four of the weirdest, wildest and downright hilarious fairy tales you’ve never even heard of. But will his new spin on these old tales be enough to get his sneaky nieces asleep in time? This funny and flexible adaptation of Giambattista Basile’s classic, The Tale of Tales, is told in the slapstick tradition of classic Italian theatre with a modern twist. Comedy / Fantasy / Adaptation Full Length 100-120 minutes (60 minute option also available) 25 w 12 m 11 any (11 to 60+ performers possible) 
Features For upper middle school to high school teen performers through adults. Large cast! (Though you can do it with as little as 11 performers, there are over 60 speaking roles even without counting the ensemble and silent roles) Flexible staging and casting (+ majority female roles) • Variable length: productions can omit a tale to perform without intermission in just about an hour Source material was recently adapted into an award winning movie (The Tale of Tales starring Selma Hayek and John C. Reilly) Educational tie in: The Tale of Tales itself is an important collection historically because it's the one the Brothers Grimm based theirs on and this is first time these tales have been adapted for the stage Can be performed in masked commedia dell'arte style if desired (or not!) 
One Act Plays 
There are also standalone one-act versions of the four fairy tales Truffaldino tells, each the perfect length for competition and festivals! 
They are... The Myrtle: 30-40 minutes, 5 m 8 f (6-20+ performers possible) Goosed!: 25-35 minutes, 2 m 6 f 8 any (11-20+ performers possible) Arm Candy: 35-45 minutes, 2 m, 4 f (5-7+ performers possible) The Fourth Orange: 20-30 minutes, 4 m, 6 f, 5 any (7-20+ actors possible)

The Fourth Orange and Other Fairy Tales You've Never Even Heard Of: a full length fairy tale comedy play [Theatre Script]

Looking for a large cast comedy play script with plenty of female roles for your next festival or drama competition? The Fourth Orange is a zany fairy tale mash-up with a modern citrus twist! There were only supposed to be three oranges. All Franceschina had to do was deliver one measly basket of sausages to the witch and go on her way. But, no, she had to play the hero and ended up cursed and forgotten, caught in the crossfire of someone else's fairy tale. Well, from now on, she's minding her own business and leaving the action to the real heroes. But when a dragon is destroying the kingdom and nobody will do anything about it, it'll be up to Franceschina to decide what part she really wants to play. A mash-up of the Italian fairy tale, The Merchant, from Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales (Il Pentamerone, Lo cunto de li cunti) with characters from Carlo Gozzi's The Love of Three Oranges, The Fourth Orange is a wacky commedia-style fairy tale adaptation for all ages. <ul> <li>Comedy / Fantasy</li> <li>One Act Stage Play</li> <li>20-30 minutes</li> <li>4 m, 6 f, 5 any (7-20+ actors possible)</li> </ul> Features <ul> <li>Flexible staging.</li> <li>Suitable for all ages.</li> <li>Large cast with majority female roles.</li> <li>Ensemble with plenty to do that can expand based on your casting needs.</li> <li>Opportunities for physical comedy, masked commedia dell'arte, improvisation and puppets.</li> <li>Great length for drama competitions and classroom study.</li> <li>Both prequel and sequel to Hillary DePiano's adaptations of Carlo Gozzi's The Love of Three Oranges and The Green Bird. Perform all three one-acts back to back for an evening's entertainment!</li> </ul> Fairly Obscure Fairy Tale Plays Looking for some crowd-pleasing, funny fairy tale plays that aren't the same old standards? Playwright Hillary DePiano presents the weirdest and wackiest lesser-known folk and fairy tales as family friendly stage adaptations perfect for schools and community theatre. From large cast, one-act comedies to commedia dell'arte scripts with a modern twist for classroom use, there are plenty of options to help your group live happily ever after! Want to combine any of the plays together to make an evening's entertainment? Interstitials and connecting scenes are available upon request.
