The Frog Prince

Dorabella is a Fairy Guardian who's had her winds clipped for turning a certain Prince Maximillian into a frog ...and unless she repairs the damage, she'll be grounded forever. But she can't do it with just a wave of a wand. In order to be human again, Max must prove that he's no longer selfish, vain, and inconsiderate. Enter... Pristine: a Princess who, despite her best efforts, has yet to find a Prince of her own. Could their fates be intertwined? The answer is "YES!", if Dorabella has anything to do with it. Join us as she finds a way to make sure that everyone (including herself) lives happily ever after.

She offers to lead them out of the swamp, but there's a catch. They must help her break the spell that transformed her from a former beauty queen into a not-very-attractive swamp monster.

Tales from the Bayou

Many Louisiana folk tales are a mixture of French and African folklore and have different versions, depending on the storyteller. The "trickster" tales often feature a rabbit named Lapin and his less-clever victim, a wolf named Bouqui. Come share the stories which include "The Butter Barrel," "The Storehouse," "Above or Below Ground?" and "A Very Sticky Situation." We guarantee you'll pass a good time!
