Nobody does fractured fairy tales better than award-winning playwright Charlie Lovett, and he’s done it again, mixing Aesop’s fable about the ant and the grasshopper with Hansel and Gretel and even a pinch of the movie Little Miss Sunshine!  The lazy citizens of Grasshopperville are starving while the hardworking people of Antberg have all the ham sandwiches they can eat.  The Grasshopperville-ians believe the Antbergers’ fortune comes from a gingerbread statue, so they hire a witch to bake them a statue of their own — in exchange for the unsuspecting and candy-loving Hansel and Gretel!  But little Cinnamon knows something the other Antbergers don’t know — the statue is actually an enchanted girl named Ginger.  Cinnamon heads into the dark forest on a quest to break the spell and free Ginger, meeting up with the Evil Witch, Grendel the ogre and his sworn enemy Beowulf the wolf.  With a large helping of lighthearted fun and a scoop of silliness, Cinnamon saves the day, even convincing the people of Grasshopperville that work isn’t so bad after all!  Little Miss Gingerbread has a remarkably balanced ensemble cast, giving every young actor a wonderful role to “bite into”!
