With a tweak and a twist, the children’s tale of the Billy Goats Gruff becomes the perfect tool to teach elementary audiences about bullying. Children will delight in this light-hearted, funny show, hardly aware that they’re also receiving a timely lesson.
The two toll trolls who are bickering on a bridge have a ’falling out’ after Billy, the smallest of the three goats, decides to become a ’bully goat.’ As if paying a toll to get across the bridge wasn’t bad enough, now anyone who dares to trip-trap over the bridge gets knocked off by Billy. Willy, her peace-loving medium-size sister, tries to talk her out of it, but alas, she ends up over the edge herself. Fred, the biggest of the three goats, just wants to eat grass on the other side and even unwittingly helps Billy just so he can eat sooner. At first it seems funny, but the unfairness of Billy’s bullying becomes more and more apparent as one innocent victim after another gets pushed off the bridge. Finally, pasture planner Dee Veloper, political candidate Polly Titian, prima ballerina Ismelda Slipper and mail person Carrie Post work together with the other victims to teach Billy a lesson.
Your audience will love the silly characters and non-stop action in this easy-to-produce one act, which comes complete with discussion questions to ensure that, beyond the silliness, an important lesson is learned.

With the mixture of both children’s and adult humor and an important message, the play has the potential to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Whitney Saporito, Neosho Daily News, Neosho, MO
This is a great show for school-aged children and families. It’s fun and light-hearted, and at the same time the audience receives an important lesson about bullying. Southwestern Illinois College Children’s Touring Theatre Company, Belleville, IL
We thought this one would be funny for the kids and parents, and we really like the anti-bullying message it had. It is very funny, hilarious and should be funny for parents, too. Also, it talks about bullying and has a message. Tim McFall, Aiken Community Playhouse, Aiken, SC
