Cast requirements: 26+ total (7f/7m plus ~12+ m or f)
Plot summary: Peter lives with
his widowed mother who is working to provide a meager existence for herself and
her son. He is constantly in trouble with the townspeople and causes his mother
much grief. Desiring more than anything to become a king, he runs away from the
security of his home and falls into the inhuman and inhumane kingdom of King Toz, the
King of the Trolls, whose daughter is yet unmarried. Will Peter give up his humanity
to marry the princess and finally become a king, or will Peter and his childhood
sweetheart Megan be reunited with his mother in their humble mountainside home?
The lessons are simple: home is best; follow your heart; and the simple things
in life bring the most joy.
