RAPUNZEL SYNOPSIS
Would it surprise you to know that the story of Rapunzel happened in
France? Well it didn’t really, but our story takes you on a frivolous frolic
through the French countryside. The Ogres garden in the Mushroom
patch while the Corn and Potato spies report back to Madame Gothel.
Frenchy and his intense friends, the Wood Elves, do their best to help
Rapunzel escape the grasp of Madame Gothel. The lost Prince,
Rapunzel’s Parents, and her friends the Unicorns try to help. Just when
you think it’s safe to cross the bridge a Troll and Three Billy Goats Gruff
get in the way. Add to that the Gremlins trying to play tricks on everyone
and you have chaos! Well, it’s not that bad because the Pixies foil the
Gremlin’s plans most of the time. In short, Rapunzel and all the rest of the
characters tell a silly tale of personal triumph and friendship.
Throughout its 40 year existence, the Missoula Children’s Theatre
International Tour has fostered developmental life skills in more than a
million kids. Just this year, we will work with 65,000 children in more than
1,200 communities in all 50 states and 17 countries. The Missoula
Children’s Theatre relies on your generosity to close the gap between low
tour fees and the actual cost of touring. If our program has had a positive
impact on you or a family member, and you would like to help ensure this
experience for future generations, please contact Development Director,
Cate Sundeen at [email protected].
Federal employees can contribute through the Combined Federal
Campaign using CFC code #20396.
