In the fairy tale criminal justice system, the characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes are represented by two separate yet equally ridiculous groups: the fairy tale police who investigate fairy tale crime, and the fairy tale district attorneys who prosecute the fairy tale offenders.

These are their stories�.

On Monday January 16, and Tuesday January 17, auditions will be held at Historic Benton Hall, for �Law and order Fairy Tale Unit upstairs in the Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.

Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit is a hilarious one-act play that is a parody of the long running television series Law and Order. This play follows the TV show�s format complete with three characters who actually play the Chuh-Chunk sound effect, the Location identifier (�Main Street�), and the Time identifier (�11:16 AM�).

The first half of the play follows detectives H.D. and Cindy (Cinderella) seeking out the �perp� who destroyed two houses and may be after a third.

The second half of the play finds district attorneys Stiltskin, Merm, and Queenan making a case to prosecute convicted felon B.B. Wolf. Characters from fairy tales, Mother Goose rhymes, and fables make appearances as witnesses, members of the jury, store owners, neighbors, officers and judges. Many characters are referred to by a nickname and sometimes have only vague references to their fairy tale origins.

Half the fun for the audience is deciphering who is who!
