Younger children will enjoy watching or performing this classic tale in which a queen puts her subjects to the test:  who will move the large boulder from the road?  Anyone kind enough to move the stone will be handsomely rewarded with a job as royal counselor to the queen!  A host of wacky characters pass through the scene as the queen and her faithful servant, Barcarole, watch from a hiding place to see who will be unselfish.  Certainly not Rigoletto, the pompous barber, who refuses to risk bruising his precious hands.  Will the burglars do the job?  Ha!  More passers-by include the snobby Mrs. Brenzinski and her bratty children, a disgruntled milkman, a runaway school principal and a retired gypsy fortuneteller, not to mention Fenster Fibb, the tax collector, who scares off some of the travelers simply by showing up!  At this rate, it seems that no one will pass the queen’s test!  Join the queen and Barcarole as they come to see how actions, not complaints, often get a job done in this playful adaptation.  Fun and a snap to produce, this well-known fairytale entertains children of all ages while teaching the importance of helping others.
