based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith

Though the characters may be familiar, each of your favorite storybook fables is uproariously derailed in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's quintessential children's book of fractured fairy tales. Everything from "Chicken Little" to "The Gingerbread Man" gets a complete makeover. Fun music and witty narration accompany the likes of ineloquent giants, sassy barnyard animals, colossal cow pies, and enough stinky cheese to go around.

The Coronado Theatre Department is proud to be a student designed and student run program. Whether designing the set, creating the blueprints, building, lighting, designing and implementing audio, costuming, running publicity, or stage managing, the Technical Theatre class is busy engineering a complete production. In keeping with a student run program, all shows are open auditions available to the entire student body. 

In addition to our main stage productions, Coronado Advanced Acting Honors class produces a One Act and AA Showcase, Thespian Troupe #3397 produces 4 Cougar Coffee Houses- including the Francisco Awards, and classes write and perform original scripts, perform one acts, compete in Tech Olympics and much more!
