By Kevin Nalty
Plot Summary
Distracted by technology and pop culture, children today are
beginning to forget the most timeless story characters. When the
stories of these classic characters are no longer told, they are
discarded to the “Land of Lost Stories.” For the first time,
these beloved characters meet and interact with each other, and
some bottle while others bond.
There is hope for returning to the “hearts and minds” of
children, as long as the characters can overcome their
weaknesses, face their fears, and help each other. But now, the
island’s evil captors threaten to drag all the beloved characters
to the island’s hills, where they will be forgotten entirely.
Set
A vibrant but lost island with a portal that sends characters
sliding in. And a door that is locked tight and only opens when
characters are prepared to return home.

Scene 1: Story Time at Grandmas
(Front of curtain. A grandmother is sitting on a rocker,
reading a story to two small children in their bed on stage
left).
MOTHER GOOSE
“And sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean
over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you,” said Pooh
to Tigger. “You will suddenly know everything there is to be known.“
ASPEN
You tell bestest stories of anyone I know, grandma.
BREE
Yes. One more story, please!
MOTHER GOOSE
Tomorrow, Aspen and Bree. It’s past your bedtime and there’s only one
more night until your parents return.
ASPEN
So our last story this summer is tomorrow night?
BREE
Then it had better be a very good one.
MOTHER GOOSE
It will. I promise. It will be the second best story ever told. Yes,
the second best story ever told, my little goslings.
ASPEN
What’s a gosling?
MOTHER GOOSE
A gosling is a child of a goose.
BREE
Then you’re a mother goose!
Kids laugh as the Mother Goose tucks them in, and lights drop.
MOTHER GOOSE
(sings in lullaby)
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Lights out and quick change
Scene 2: Eleven Years Later
(Front of curtain. Bree and Aspen are teenagers. They enter
from stage right with luggage.)
MOTHER GOOSE
Well there are my goslings! Hello, Bree. Hello Aspen. Look how you two
have grown.
BREE
Hi Mother Goose!
ASPEN

Hey grandma.
MOTHER GOOSE
Rest your bags, dear. I have some lemonade, lemon drops, and new
stories to share with you when you get settled.
BREE
(Looking at phone)
Oh tonight? Well that’s nice, but...
ASPEN
(Laughing at text on phone, and shows it to Bree. Then
realizes Mother Goose is standing there).
Oh right. Bree and I are meeting some friends at the mall.
BREE
We’ll be back maybe at ten o’clock, but that’s past your bedtime,
right?
ASPEN
(Reads text).
Hey, Mason is outside. We’ll see you in the morning, okay?
Scene 3: Welcome to the Island
(Curtain opens to reveal a strange island. On the back of
stage left is a hole with a green slide poking out. On the
back of stage right is a small, closed door. Jack, from
Jack & The Beanstalk, falls down green slide onto stage.
JACK
Ouch! Holy cow that hurt worse than falling down my beanstalk. Where
the heck am I?
TINKERBELL
(She’s weak and leaning against something for support)
How should I know? I’ve only been here for a few hours. Actually it
has maybe been a few days.
JACK
I first thought you were a talking harp. But you’re Tinkerbell, aren’t
you? Wow you’ve really let yourself go.
TINKERBELL
Up your beanstalk, Jack. I can barely stand, and this place is
draining me. I can’t even remember how I got here.
JACK
Well it looks like you need some help.
(She reaches for him, but he walks away oblivious)
TINKERBELL
Still stealing from giants, Jack?
JACK
What gave it away?
TINKERBELL
The gold in your pocket.
JACK
Gold? I don’t have any gold. Well I gotta split. Tell Peter Pan hi.
(Jack first tries doorknob, shaking it vigorously. Then he
tries climbing back up green slide, but he can’t. His gold

coins spill down slide, and he scrambles to get them all
and tuck them back into his pockets, hoping Tinkerbell
doesn’t notice).
TINKERBELL
That gold!
(Little Red Riding Hood slides in, and is startled by Jack
and Tinkerbell. She jumps back and fiercely protects her
basket. She eyes them suspiciously).
RED
Who are you and what do you want with me?!
JACK
Easy, Eloise.
TINKERBELL
She’s not Eloise. She’s Pippi Longstocking.
RED
Hood. Red. Riding Hood.
JACK
Oh I remember her. I dated her grandmother. She’s an animal in bed.
RED
Back off, Jack. It is, Jack, isn’t it? The kid who murders lonely
giants and steals their well earned gold?
TINKERBELL
Fess up, Red. What’s in the basket?
JACK
Looks heavy. Can I hold it for you?
RED
Step back. I’m not the innocent little girl you think. I know things
now.
JACK
Do you?
(song starts immediately)
S2: I KNOW THINGS NOW (RED) INSTRUMENTAL
Note: In the “In the Woods” song and traditional story, Red
learns a to be careful and safe. But in this play, she took
a different lesson from her experience with the wolf. She
trusts nobody, suspects people are innately bad, and keeps
everyone away (but she’ll eventually learn to see the good
in people again).
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
or be misled.
I should have
heeded
Her advice...
But he seemed so
nice.
And he showed me
things
Many beautiful
things,
That I hadn't
thought to explore.
They were off my
path,
So I never had
dared.
I had been so
careful,
I never had cared.
And he made me feel
excited-
Well, excited and
scared.
When he said, "Come
in!"

With that sickening
grin,
How could I know
what was in store?
Once his teeth were
bared,
Though, I really
got scared-
Well, excited and
scared-
But he drew me
close
And he swallowed me
down,
Down a dark slimy
path
Where lie secrets
that I never want
to know,
And when everything
familiar
Seemed to disappear
forever,
At the end of the
path
Was Granny once
again.
So we wait in the
dark
Until someone sets
us free,
And we're brought
into the light,
And we're back at
the start.
And I know things
now,
Many valuable
things,
That I hadn't known
before:
Do not put your
faith
In a cape and a
hood,
They will not
protect you
The way that they
should.
And take extra care
with strangers,
Even flowers have
their dangers.
And though scary is
exciting,
Nice is different
than good.
“People inside. Are
full’a disgust
When in doubt, You
cannot trust
Keep away I’m on my
own
And a little... a-
lone”
After applause, immediately into next song
S3: WATCH ME WHIP (LITTLE GUYS)
The “little guys” are looking cool as they “whip and nae
nae” from the back of the auditorium. They are Humpty, Flat
Stanley, Fozzie Bear and Harold (from Harold & The Purple
Crayon). They make their way onto stage left, not even
realizing anyone new has arrived.
Now watch me whip (Kill it!)
Now watch me nae nae (Okay!)
Now watch me whip, whip
Watch me nae nae (Watch me do it)
Now watch me whip (Kill it!)
Now watch me nae nae (Okay!)
Now watch me whip, whip
Watch me nae nae (Can you do it?)
Now watch me, ooh watch me, watch me
Ooh watch me, watch me
HUMPTY
(Wait until song ends)
Everyone stop! Look here, Flat Stanley. New friends!
FLAT STANLEY

Ahhhhh!
(Stanley is scared. He screams and runs to stage right
while holding his hands up in the air like the Flat Stanley
cutout)
TINKERBELL
Jack- these are the Littles
JACK
It’s a pleasure to meet you little guys. Do you know how I can get
through that door or up that slide? I’d like to get as far away from
you as humanly possible?
STANLEY
Sorry. You can’t get out. Only in.
TINKERBELL
Stanley is right. Nobody has ever left.
HAROLD
People don’t tell “Jack and the Beanstalk” stories anymore. So you’ve
been forgotten and tossed here.
JACK
That’s insane. You’re insane.
FOZZIE
We’ve all been forgotten. The Muppets used to be big. But the
franchise has been on a steady decline since the 1980s.
JACK
Okay he’s Harold and the crayon. That must be Humpty Dumpty. You’re
clearly Flat Stanley. So who are you? Yogi Bear?
FOZZIE
Close. Fozzie bear. I’m not from Jellystone I’m from California.
HAROLD
What part?
FOZZIE
All of me. Wocka, wocka?
Scene 4: Not Kansas
(Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz tumbles down green slide)
DOROTHY
Okay this definitely isn’t Kansas either. Oh, nooooo.
(She looks around the empty island and is terrified).
(Glinda flips down slide. Looks flustered. Wipes dress.
Sees Dorothy and snaps into cheerful disposition).
GLINDA
Well, Dorothy Gale, you are a sight for sore eyes!
DOROTHY
Oh, Glinda. Thank goodness. What is this place?

GLINDA
I don’t know. I’m not even sure how we got here.
DOROTHY
I don’t see any flying monkeys. But look way over there (points past
audience). Is that a bear or a tiger?
GLINDA
Oh Dorothy, you look terrified.
DOROTHY
I am, Glinda. I’m scared. I want my Auntie Emm.
S4: NO ONE IS ALONE, INTO WOODS (DOROTHY & GLINDA)
Glinda:
Aunt Emm cannot
guide you.
Now you're on your
own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not
alone.
No one is alone.
Truly.
No one is alone.
DIALOGUE from 40
seconds to 48
Glinda:
Mother isn't here
now
Dorothy:
Wrong things, right
things
Glinda:
Who knows what
she'd say?
Dorothy:
Who can say what's
true?
Glinda:
Nothings quite so
clear now.
Dorothy:
Do things, fight
things,
Glinda:
Feel you've lost
your way?
Dorothy:
You decide, but
Both:
You are not alone
Glinda:
Believe me,
No one is alone
Dorothy:
No one is alone.
Believe me.
Glinda:
Truly
Both:
You move just a
finger,
Say the slightest
word,
Somethings bound to
linger
Be heard
Dorothy:
No one acts alone.
Careful.
No one is alone.
Both:
People make
mistakes.
Dorothy:
Fathers,
Glinda:
Mothers,
Both:
People make
mistakes,
Holding to their
own,
Thinking they're
alone.
Glinda:
Honor their
mistakes
Glinda:
Everybody makes
Dorothy:
Fight for their
mistakes
Both:
One another's
terrible mistakes.
Witches can be
right, Giants can
be good.
You decide what's
right you decide
what's good
Glinda:
Just remember:
Dorothy:
[Echo] Just
remember:
Both:
Someone is on your
side
Jack,
Dorothy:
OUR side
Both:
Our side--
Someone else is not
While we're seeing
our side
Jack,
Dorothy:

Our side..
Both
Our side--
Both:
Maybe we forgot:
they are not alone.
No one is alone.
Glinda:
Hard to see the
light now.
Dorothy:
Just don't let it
go
Both:
Things will come
out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your
side
No one is alone.
No change to lights after song!
(Jack, Tinkerbell and Little Guys enter).
GLINDA
Oh hello, sweet little children.
(Startled by HUMPTY, Dorothy screams).
FLAT STANLEY
(When he hears Dorothy scream, he screams and runs with his
arms flailing)
GLINDA
It’s all right dear. We’re not going to hurt you.
HUMPTY
Say, I know you guys. You’re Glinda the Good Witch and you’re Dorothy.
You were in Wizard of Oz.
FOZZIE
(To Stanley)
Come back over here, Stanley. Dorothy won’t hurt you. She’s one of the
best actresses from Wizard of Oz.
DOROTHY
What?
FOZZIE
She brought the house down. Wocka wocka.
HAROLD
You know, I auditioned to be a munchkin on the Wizard of Oz.
DOROTHY
I don’t remember seeing you.
FOZZIE
He didn’t get the part. But he did make the short list. Wocka wocka.
(Waldorf and Statler enter from stage left... ominous
music)
STATLER
Look at this, Waldorf. More forgotten story characters. Wizard of Oz
and some munchkins.
WALDORF
But Statler, I don’t think people forgot about Dorothy’s story. I
think they decided it was too pitiful to tell. A girl on the adventure
of her lifetime and all she wants to do is go back to a barn.
DOROTHY
Why, are you a good witch or a bad witch?
WALDORF

My little girl.... Good witches are bad witches who haven’t reached
their maximum potential.
STATLER
And we make wicked witches look like Bambi and Flipper.
GLINDA
Oh rubbish you have no power here.
DOROTHY
Why, who are you two?
S5: HAPPIEST HOME IN THESE HILLS (WALDORF/STATLER)
(During song, Flat Stanley enters and sees villains and
screams. Others can enter stage as they’re mentioned in the
song)
WALDORF
You all are lost and forgotten
You’ll never leave so grab a
chair
STATLER
Down here the air is rotten
Feel free to cry cuz, no one
cares
WALDORF
But wait. There’s more to hear
STATLER
You’ve got. Something else to
fear.
BOTH
A banishment deep in the hills.
In the hills!
WALDORF
In hills you stay forever
Your stories never are told
again
STATLER
Who wants to borrow books
When they can download Clash of
Clans
WALDORF
Minecraft
Geometry dash
Make books
Expensive trash
BOTH
So you’re banished deep into the
hills. In the hills...
Lights out
Scene 5: Prince and Princess
(Princess Andapee from “Princess & the Pea” slides down stairs. She
looks around, and then sniffs the air).
PRINCESS
It smells like a wet Chihuahua farted Camembert cheese.
PRINCE CHARMING
(Slides half way down slide on stomach, and tries
desperately to stop himself or climb back up).
No, no, no, no, noooooo.

(Loses grip, slides the rest of the way, flops to ground,
staring up at Princess).
Have no fear, madam. It is I, Prince Charming. And I shall protect
you.
PRINCESS
Nice to see you, Charming. I heard Cinderella dumped you.
PRINCE CHARMING
It was a mutual agreement. Mostly. And I’ll have you know that I’ve
been, um, happily ever after, kind of.
(Jack walks in with Tinkerbell)
PRINCESS
Jack? Get your greedy beanstalk away from me.
JACK
I'm not going to steal your little jewels, Princess. I have my own.
TINKERBELL
Look it’s (air quotes) “insert generic Disney princess here.”
PRINCESS
Tinkerbell? You still exist? I saw Peter Pan Live. I believe a
flashlight was playing your part.
TINKERBELL
You’re gonna feel that pea really well where I stick it.
PRINCE CHARMING
Ladies, ladies. Let’s just take a deep breath!
(Little guys enter stage)
PRINCESS
Ewww. Tiny dwarves? Go back to Snow White! Wait – is this a surprise
party?
HUMPTY
No. You’re on an island.
HAROLD
Because you’ve been forgotten.
FLAT STANLEY
Nobody tells the Princess and the Pea story anymore.
PRINCESS
(Disinterested with the island or her fate, she stares at
Fozzie Bear).
Who are you? Little Bear or Lotso Bear?
FOZZIE
Close. Fozzie bear.
LITTLE GUYS
ALL together: Who are you?
(song starts... Jack steals during this)

S6: CALL ME A PRINCESS (PRINCESS ANDAPEE)
(The Little guys are enchanted and they sit to watch. Jack
sneaks around and steals their belongings: Harold’s crayon,
Humpty’s boom box, Fozzie’s horn and Flat Stanley’s
blanket).
Call me a princess, I don't care
Call me obsessed with nails and hair
Only concerned with what to wear
Shallow and so blasé
Other girls study, why do they bother?
I study how to grease up my father
Fathers were born to pay
And princesses get their way
Believe it
Princesses get their way
Princesses get their way
Lights out
Scene 6: Stressed Girls
(Red is yanking at door. Then she sits down by the slide
and peeks into her basket. Suddenly, Little Mermaid slips
down the slide, followed by Goldilicks).
GOLDILOCKS
(After landing with her face on the ground)
This ground is too hard.
(She flops over onto Mermaid)
And this is too soft.
(Slides onto Red’s lap)
Oof. And this... this is just not right.
RED
Get off of me. (Looks suspiciously). Goldilocks? Is that you?
GOLDILOCKS
(To Red)
Hiya, Red Riding Hood.
(To Mermaid)
Hiya... other unfamiliar character who is not Red Riding Hood.
MERMAID
Hello girls.

RED
(Even more suspiciously)
Who are you?!
MERMAID
It’s me. Arial. Little Mermaid? Oh nobody knows who I am anymore since
I gave up my luxurious tail (annoyed) for Prince Eric.
BOPEEP
(Slides down slide)
Weeeeee!
(All the girls stare at her, then each other).
Hello gentleman. Has anyone seen my sheep around here?
RED
Bopeep, you can’t trust sheep. They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing.
MERMAID
Yeah like men. Take Prince Eric... please take Prince Eric.
RED
(To Goldilocks)
I think Princess Arial is bitter. She’s gone from Arial to Arial bold.
(To Mermaid)
Did you ditch your prince?
MERMAID
We were inseparable until one day I went back to see my treasure
trove. Prince Eric was so jealous that he evidently stole all of my
whozits and whatzits.
GOLDILOCKS
Please tell me you still have the thingamabobs.
MERMAID
No, there were 10 thingamabobs left (pause). But I used to have 20!
GOLDILOCKS
Well at least you have a world to go back to.
RED
Goldilocks did you runaway again?
GOLDILOCKS
No
MERMAID
You’re a runaway?
GOLDILOCKS
Yes
RED
Well which one. Yes or no?
GOLDILOCKS
I don’t know. Something in between.
RED
Sorry to hear that, Goldi.
GOLDILOCKS
Sorry? I’m not. My parents won’t let me do anything anymore. “Stay off
the computer, Goldilocks. Lay off the Grande lattes, Goldilocks. No
more breaking & entering bear houses, Goldilocks.”
BOPEEP

(To Goldilocks): Excuse me, Alice in Wonderland. Have you seen any
sheep around here?
MERMAID
Oh hush, Little Bopeep. Hush all of you. I used to have a gorgeous
tail and a Prince I could trust.
RED
I used to trust humanity. Song starts here
GOLDILOCKS
I used to have parents who didn’t annoy and embarrass me.
BOPEEP
I used to have a lamb whose fleece was white as snow.
S7: STRESSED OUT (GOLDILOCKS, RED, BOPEEP, MERMAID)
Goldilocks
Wish we could turn back time, to
the good ol’ days,
When our momma sang us to sleep
but now we’re stressed out.
ALL
but now we’re stressed out.
(Dialogue potentially)
BoPeep
Sometimes a certain smell will
take me back to when I was
young,
How come I’m never able to
identify where it’s coming from,
Mermaid
I’d make a Whoosit out of it if
I ever found it,
Try to sell it, never sell out
of it, I’d probably only sell
one,
Red
It’d trust my old grandma,
‘cause we have the same nose,
Same clothes homegrown a stone’s
throw from a creek we used to
roam,
Goldilicks
But it would remind us of when
nothing really mattered,
Out of student loans and
treehouse homes we all would
take the latter.
BoPeep
My name’s Little Bo Peep and I
care what you think
My name’s Little Bo Peep and I
care what you think
ALL
but now we’re stressed out!
Lights out
Scene 7: Town Hall Meeting (ALL CAST)
(The entire cast now on the island are talking and
panicking)

WALDORF
Your attention please. Quiet! Does anyone know why we called this town
hall meeting?
DOROTHY
To send us all to the hills?
CHARMING
To torture us with your fossil breath?
BOPEEP
Wait, I know why they called a meeting, everyone. They’re going to
send us all to the hills!
DOROTHY
Didn’t I just...
GLINDA
Maybe you summoned us to tell us why you’re stealing things from the
little guys?
HAROLD, STANLEY, HUMPTY and FOZZIE
Yeah! You stole my (boom box/yolk, blanket, crayon, horn)
STATLER
That’s Ridick-orous.
WALDORF
The only thing we’re stealing is you. From the hearts and minds of
children everywhere. Statler. The status, stat!
STATLER
We are ahead of plan, sir. Technology is winning. YouTube views rose
45% among 5-10 year olds. Dragon Quest and Fallout Shelter downloads
are going through the roof. Nobody has the time or attention for
stories.
WALDORF
Ah, the sweet triumph of vapid technology over tales of yore. By my
estimation, we are just 36 hours from dumping you all to the hills,
where you’ll be forgotten forever (song starts).
STATLER/WALDORF
(They cackle, each topping the other... Statler gives Waldorf a
playful punch. Waldorf punches back hard, and Statler stumbles).
S8: FORGET YOU (WALDORF/STATLER)
Walford
(four count)
You see your stories are dead
To the boys and girls they all
Forget You
Statler
Oo, oo, oooh!
Waldorf
They’d rather Snapchat or
Facebook
Than read your dumb books s
o they
Forget You
Both
And forget her too
Statler
Yeah I'm sorry. No I’m not
sorry,
We think this fate is rather
fair

Stop your chatter. Your tales
don't matter.
The kids and parents just don’t
care
Walford
You see your stories are dead
To the boys and girls they all
Forget You
Statler
Oo, oo, oooh!
Waldorf
They’d rather Snapchat or
Facebook
Than read your dumb books so
they
Forget You
Both
And forget her too
Oooh ooooh oooh
Lights out
Scene 8: Change Your Story
Prince Charming and Dorothy are on stage
PRINCE CHARMING
So I says to him, “I don’t know. Why can't you give Elsa a balloon?”
And Kristoff says, “Because she will let it go.”
(Dorothy’s face turns from worried to a smile, and she covers her
mouth timidly to quietly laugh).
(WALDORF AND STATLER enter, chasing Bopeep and Tinkerbell.
Physical comedy ensues)
(Peter Pan slides onto stage, and the chasing stops abruptly...
Peter appears not to notice the four others, but then turns
swiftly swinging his sword).
PETER PAN
Step away or I’ll make a hook of your hand.
STATLER
Hoo, hoo, hoooo. Try it, man. I’ll bounce all over you and your little
green tights.
BOPEEP
(Pointing to Statler) That man is a bouncer.
TINKERBELL
Peter!
(Runs to him and protects him from Statler).
Backoff, grampa grizzle... this is Peter Pan.
WALDFORF
Oh bother. I’m feeling a rumbly in my tumbly. Let’s go have lunch,
Statler. Wait there was something else. Think, think, think. Oh, I
heard there’s a library closing in Doylestown.
STATLER

Let’s go burn some books! Tata for now.
(Waldorf and Statler exit)
(She starts to get dizzy. Faints into Peter’s arms).
PETER PAN
What’s the matter Tink?
DOROTHY
Her light is fading. Yours will too. You’re here because your story is
being forgotten. Those two old men are using iPhones and computers to
distract kids from storytelling.
PRINCE CHARMING
Don’t worry. They won’t prevail. I will save you, Tinkerbell. (To
audience): Everyone just clap your hands together and...
PRINCESS
Put a lid on it, Charming. That doesn’t work here.
(To Peter)
These guys seem quite happy, and I don’t want to offend them. But I
don’t like it here one bit.
PRINCE CHARMING
Don’t you realize you’re not the only one who doesn’t like it here.
You are as self-centered as Cinderella!
BOPEEP
Well my sheep like it just fine.
(Leans over to imaginary sheep and pets them).
(Pinocchio shoots down slide)
PINOCCHIO
I’m sorry. Did I get your slide dirty?
PETER PAN
Pinocchio, stop apologizing.
PINOCCHIO
Yes sir. Sorry.
PETER PAN
Nobody’s going to turn you into a wooden puppet again.
FOZZIE
Pokes on stage
He knows (points to nose). Get it? Nose!? Wocka wocka!
PETER PAN
What’s the matter with you people? Tink get up. You can’t sit around
and worry about some plot twist or tragic ending. It’s time to write
your own stories. (Song starts)
(During song, Tinkerbell recovers and dances a bit)
S9: CHANGE YOUR STORY (PETER PAN, WITH GOLDILOCK, CHARMING AND
PINNOCCHIO) INSTRUMENTAL
PETER
Jack and Jill, went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water,
so they say
Their subsequent fall was
inevitable

They never stood a chance, they
were written that way
Innocent victims of their story
Like Romeo and Juliet
T'was written in the stars
before they even met
That love and fate, and a touch
of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of
living happily
The endings are often a little
bit gory BORING
I wonder why they didn't just
change their story?
We're told we have to do what
we're told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a
little bit naughty.
CHARMING
Just because you find that
life's not fair It doesn't mean
that you just have to grin and
bear it
If you always take it on the
chin and wear it
Nothing will change.
GOLDILOCKS
Even if you're little, you can
do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like,
'little' stop you
If you sit around and let them
get on top,
you might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right!
PETER
And if it’s not right... you
have to put it right...
PINNOCHIO
Just because you find that
life's not fair It doesn't mean
that you just have to grin and
bear it
If you always take it on the
chin and wear it
Nothing will change.
PETER
Even if you're little, you can
do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like,
'little' stop you
If you sit around and let them
get on top,
you might as well be saying
You think that it's okay
And that's not right!
And if it's not right!
You have to put it right!
But nobody else is gonna put it
right for me
nobody but me is gonna change my
story
sometimes you have to be a
little bit naughty
Lights out
Scene 9: Home or Not
(Dorothy and Glinda sit on stage, initially).
GLINDA
Dorothy, maybe Peter Pan was right about what he said.
DOROTHY
About me always running back home?
GLINDA
Look at your heels. They’re worn to a pulp.
(Gets up and walks to stage right)

DOROTHY
Apparently clicking three times doesn't work here.
GLINDA
I counted 312 clicks.
DOROTHY
I know I’m a bit obsessed about home. But it’s hard to stop looking
back.
(Glinda follows Dorothy to her mark)
GLINDA
Dorothy, it can be hard to see the road when you’re staring into the
rearview mirror.
DOROTHY
I know. But sometimes I don’t want to look ahead when I see these bad
places like a witches castle or this scary island. I want to go back
home.
GLINDA
Home is where your heart is, Dorothy
DOROTHY
Then I wish my heart were somewhere safe and kind. Somewhere without
witches, evil trees, or strange old codgers keeping me prisoner.
GLINDA
I know, Dorothy. And I’m sure there are new and wonderful places where
you can feel just as safe as home.
(The walk to center stage)
DOROTHY
Better places? What do you suppose they’re like?
S10: IMAGINE (DOROTHY & GLINDA)
Dorothy
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Glinda
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
TOGETHER
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Scene 10: What Little People Can Do
(Immediately after song, Glinda and Dorothy are joined by
Bopeep and Mermaid. They hear Stanley scream from the back
of the auditorium, then the little guys run up to stage).
STANLEY
Screams
GLINDA

What’s the matter little guys?
HUMPTY
We found out who stole our stuff.
HAROLD
Jack stole everything!
FOZZIE
So we tried to get our things back.
GLINDA
What did Jack do?
STANLEY
He told us we were little runts.
HUMPTY
Man, we little people get no respect.
GLINDA
My dear children, you underestimate yourselves.
S11: LITTLE PEOPLE (GLINDA, BOPEEP, MERMAID, DOROTHY
WITH STANLEY, HUMPTY, FOZZIE, HAROLD)
GLINDA
Humpty you’ve got courage
Fozzie you are a bear
BOPEEP
You don’t need to run
And hide when you are scared
MERMAID
Draw some courage Harold
Stanley don’t scream
DOROTHY
Jack has no chance
If you act like a team
HAROLD
And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings
But we’ve got some bite
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
GIRLS
You’ll fight like twenty armies
And you won't give up
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows up!
GLINDA
A worm can roll a stone
A bee can sting a bear
BOPEEP
A fly can fly around Versailles
'Cos flies don't care!
MERMAID
A sparrow in a hut
Can make a happy home
DOROTHY
A flea can bite the bottom
Of the Pope in Rome!
LITTLES
And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings but we
got some bite!
So never kick a dog because he's
just a pup
You better run for cover when
the pup grows up!
GIRLS AND LITTLES
And we'll fight like twenty

armies And we won't give up
No break
HAROLD
(Wait for song to end and audience applause)
Well I guess Humpty’s out. But I bet we can take on those old men if
we work together!
FOZZIE
Let’s do it fellas.
STANLEY
I’m tired of screaming and running away. I’m no doormap!
HUMPTY
And I’ve had it. People have been pushing me around my whole life
because I’m little.
STANLEY
We’ve got your back!
(Pats Humpty, who falls off stage)
FOZZIE
(pause for laughter)
Oh Humpty is fried. (Pause) What? Don’t crack up.... not a yolk.

INTERMISSION
Scene 11: In Our Own Bubbles
ANDAPEE
Everyone else is having a blast here on this depressing island, but
I’m quite ready to go back to my castle and sleep on a feathered
mattress.
GLINDA
Princess Andapee. Do you need a hug?
ANDAPEE
Get away from me, you crazy...
Glinda hugs Andapee. They both smile. Bopeep walks on.
ANDAPEE
Thanks. Nobody’s hugged me since I was about ten.
Bopeep hugs Andapee. Then Glinda. Then Andapee.
ANDAPEE
Bopeep, we already did our hug about 4 seconds ago, but thanks.
GLINDA

I don't normally hug. Usually when I start to get close to someone, I
end up floating away. It’s safe that way. I don’t get my heart broken.
ANDAPEE
I don’t have any real friends either. Most people just want to be my
friend because I have money.
GLINDA
Sounds isolating. Like when I float away, seeing the world from above.
Never quite...
ANDAPEE AND GLINDA
Fitting in.
BOPEEP
(late on cue).
Fitting in. Wait do it again, I missed the cue.
Song starts after that line
S12: OUTSIDE LOOKING IN (ANDAPEE/GLINDA, BOPEEP)
You don't know my name
you don't know anything about me
I try to play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
You may think I never hear about
them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your
back
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on
the outside looking in
If you could read my mind
You might see more of me than
meets the eye
And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a chance
[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on
the outside looking in
Scene 12: Pinocchio and Tinkerbell
Pinocchio: Learning courage
Tinkerbell enters from stage right (back entrance) and
drops her satchel of ferry dust. Pinocchio walks on behind
her and notices it.

PINOCCHIO
Miss, Bell. You dropped this, mam.
TINKERBELL
Thanks. Did you just call me Miss Bell? Say, what’s the matter with
you, Pinocchio?
PINOCCHIO
Nothing. Why?
TINKERBELL
You walk around like you’re scared of your own shadow.
PINOCCHIO
I guess I’m afraid someone’s going to turn me back into a puppet. Or a
donkey. Or toss me into a whale (pause). I’ve had a traumatic
childhood, okay?
TINKERBELL
Weren’t you listening to anything Peter Pan said? The things that
happened to you aren’t your story. They’re your his-story.
PINOCCHIO
His-tory? Well I suppose you’re right (pauses, smiles). So is Peter
your boyfriend?
TINKERBELL
Hah! No Peter Pan is a permanent bachelor. He’s like a big brother.
PINOCCHIO
(He’s beginning to get interested in Tink)
Well where’s your story going, Miss Bell?
TINKERBELL
Call me Tink. Common, I’ll tell you all about it. You want some Ferry
Dust?
PINOCCHIO
No thanks, Tink. I’m trying to quit.

lifts out Red’s basket, but tucks it away when he hears the
little guys approaching. Little Guys, minus Humpty, enter).
JACK
Oh look, the Lollipop Guild is back.
HAROLD
Hi Jack. You’re giving us our stuff back!
JACK
Harold. Why don’t you draw yourself back to your beddy bye?
FOZZIE
Hey. You mess with Harold and you mess with me.
JACK
What?
FOZZIE

Say what again. Say what again!
HAROLD
Jack, you can’t keep pushing us around because we’re small.
JACK
Says who?
STANLEY
(screaming)
Says us! Now open that bag, take out our things, and SCRAM!
(Jack looks at each of the children. And returns their
things. He leaves. The kids celebrate with high fives).
FOZZIE
Oh no.
HAROLD
What’s the matter Fozzie?
FOZZIE
I can’t believe I missed a really good one-liner.
HAROLD
What?
FOZZIE
Before Jack left. I could have said, “Hit the road, Jack.” Wocka
wocka.
(Nobody laughs)
FOZZIE
What’s Peter Pan’s favorite fast food restaurant? Wendys! Wocka!?
HAROLD
Fozzie, you don’t have to be funny for us to be your friend.
STANLEY
Yeah, Fozzie. Be yourself. We like you just the way you are.
(The little guys hug)
FOZZIE
Listen. DO you hear that? And look- the door is opening!
Humpty rap
HUMPTY
Wait for me guys!

Lights down, exit music).

GLINDA
Are you okay, Goldilocks?
GOLDILOCKS
Yes, I’m fine. I just...
GLINDA
You miss your family.
GOLDILOCKS
Of course I don’t, I, well...
GLINDA
It’s okay, Goldilocks. Everyone misses home from time to time.
GOLDILOCKS
It’s that time now, Glinda. I miss my brother and my parents. Sure
they cramp my style and embarrass me sometimes, but they love me.
GLINDA
Look Goldilocks! The door has opened because you’re ready.
GOLDILOCKS
Glinda it’s open for you too. Won’t you come with me? I’ll take you to
get pizza with my friends from school. You’ll love them!
GLINDA
Oh, no... My bubble is boarding in a few...
GOLDILOCKS
Oh please. You’ve got to come to my town and the first thing we’re
going to do is buy you a dress that doesn’t make you look 90 years
old.
GLINDA
I look 90? What a compliment. I’m 110 years old!
(The two rush through the door, laughing).
MOTHER GOOSE
Goldilocks’ family embraced her again with open arms. Soon, moms and
dads began telling her story again. Goldilock learned that you can
always go home again. But it was Glinda who had never before felt so
“at home.”

(She does a dance)
PETER PAN
So what’s next for you two?
PINOCCHIO
I’ve got a weekend getaway with an adorably little flying friend.
PETER PAN
Who? Jiminy Cricket?
PINOCCHIO
No that guy always makes me feel guilty. I’m going with Tinkerbell.
PETER PAN
Tinkerbell! That’s great! Where are you guys going?
PINOCCHIO
To a 5-star Bed and Breakfast in the Black Forest in Germany.

stage left).
CHARMING
Dorothy, haven’t you heard? We’re being remembered again? Everyone is
leaving.
DOROTHY
Not me. I’m finally adjusting. Home is where your heart is, and my
heart happens to be right here.
(She points to her heart).
CHARMING
I know it’s still a bit broken from my breakup with Cinderella. But my
heart is right here (points to his heart), and it would be honored to
get to know yours.
DOROTHY
But where are you going?
CHARMING
I’m starting a new chapter of my story. Come with?
DOROTHY
Well... yes. I’d like to see what lies ahead.
They rush through doors, hand in hand.
Lights down, exit music plays.

MOTHER GOOSE
A year later, Prince Charming’s second marriage was to a beautiful
bride from Kansas. They knew that “happy ever after” was impossible,
but that their choice to love would get them through difficult times.
Except for some munchkins, the rest of wedding had never seen a bride
escorted down the isle by a kind-hearted tin man, a brave lion and
very wise scarecrow.
Lights back
(Jack enters and is staring greedily at Red’s basket).
JACK
I can finally find out what’s in this thing. Whatever it is, Red
Riding Hood has been guarding it carefully so it must be...
(Andapee walks onto set, catching Jack)
ANDAPEE
Go ahead. Keep it. I won’t tell. But before you look inside, have you
thought about what that might do to Red Riding Hood?
JACK
What do you mean?
ANDAPEE
She’s wounded Jack. She doesn’t trust anyone. You’ll just make it
easier for her to decide the entire human race is corrupt.
JACK
If she wants it back, she can buy it back on eBay.
ANDAPEE
Jack, does it look like money has made me happy?
JACK
No.
ANDAPEE
That’s because it doesn't. You know what does make people happy?
JACK
No.
ANDAPEE
Helping others. It’s been proven in research.
(Mermaid, Bopeep and Red walk on stage)
MERMAID
Hi Princess and Jack. Has anyone seen Red’s basket?
ANDAPEE
I... I don’t know its exact location.
BOPEEP
Seems I’m not the only one around here who loses things.
MERMAID
I don’t think the basket was lost. I think someone stole it. Like
Jack!
RED
No, it’s my fault. I must have misplaced it. Don’t blame him.
JACK
Yes, Red. You should blame me. Here.

(Jack hands the basket to Red).
RED
Oh thank you! I can’t tell you what this means to me.
(She hugs Jack)
JACK
(to Andapee)
Okay you’re right. That felt uncomfortably good.
ANDAPEE
Why not come clean to the other two?
JACK
Wait, how did you know about them?
MERMAID
Princess, what do you mean ‘come clean to the other two’?
JACK
Princess Arial, Eric didn’t steal the things from your cove. Please
come back to my castle and I’ll return your whozits, whatzits and even
the 10 thingamabobs.
MERMAID
Wow! Thanks for your honesty. And I guess I’ve got some apologizing I
need to do to Eric!
JACK
And you, Bopeep.
BOPEEP
You stole my sheep, didn’t you?
JACK
How did you know?
BOPEEP
Because you’re full of sheep!
ANDAPEE
The doors. Jack they’ve opened for you.
JACK
Here (hands keys to Mermaid and Bopeep). Come to my castle whenever
you’d like, and everything will be returned.
ANDAPEE
Hurry Jack. The door.
JACK
It’s open for you, too, Princess Andapee. You’ve reminded me that
there’s more to life than gold. We both have more than we need, and
there are a lot of people who need some help. Join me?

MOTHER GOOSE
In the years that followed, Jack and Princess Andapee started a
scholarship for youth who were low-income and excelled at writing
stories. And that was a story just waiting to be told.

Scene 13: Discovering Secrets
(Mermaid is sitting with Bopeep and they’re playing with their keys)
MERMAID
I guess I owe Eric an apology.
BOPEEP
I’m sure he’ll forgive you. He loves you, Arial.
STATLER
You two. Where has everyone gone! Waldorf is furious. He sent me to
escort you two to the hills. Hoo hoo hooo!
BOPEEP
Wait a second. You just said “hoo hoo hooo.” That reminds me of
someone from a story I read with my mom.
MERMAID
Bopeep, did you just say “remember”?
BOPEEP
Oh my. I did, Arial. I don’t remember ever saying that. Anyway,
Statler earlier said “ridick-orous.” And “tata for now.”
STATLER
Quiet! I don’t know what you’re talking about.
BOPEEP
You’re not a mean old man. You’re Tigger from “Winnie the Pooh.”
STATLER
(Removes his suit and reveals stripes. Pulls out a tale.
Covers his head with his ears and places a red nose on his
face)
MERMAID
Tigger, you were tossed to this island just like us. And then you
decided that misery likes company.
STATLER/TIGGER
I’m sorry. I just wanted to stay in the “hearts and minds” of children
everywhere. But they didn’t care about me...
(Door signals it’s opening. Music plays)
STATLER/TIGGER
Come on, girls! I’ll help you fetch your things at Prince Charming’s
castle, and I’ll be back to the 100-acre woods north of Doylestown
before supper. Fun, fun, fun, fun, funnnn!
BOPEEP
After that, I’m taking my sheep to a safer place. Wouldn’t ewe?
TIGGER
What?
BOPEEP
You “hurd” me.
MERMAID
And I’m going back to Eric. I miss him dearly.
TIGGER
Well I’ll miss you and all of these Lost Story characters. But you’ll
be in my Tigger heart, and a Tigger heart is a wonderful place to live
because there’s room for everyone.

S13: I WILL REMEMBER YOU (BOPEEP AND MERMAID, TIGGER)
BOPEEP
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
(Pause here)
Bopeep/Mermaid
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of
something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much
but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we
can't be heard
I will remember you
ALL
I will remember you
(Tigger, Bopeep and Mermaid exits...
MOTHER GOOSE
Bopeep was reunited with her sheep. The little Mermaid was reunited
with Eric, and he suggested they spend the summer with his inlaws in
the sea. So they both grew tails and plunged into the sea one sunset.
Meanwhile, Tigger was greeted by Kanga, who wasn’t the least bit
annoyed by him. Even Eyor gave Tigger a big hug, and for the first
time anyone recalled, he revealed a great big smile.
Scene 14: And Then There Were Two
(Waldorf is sitting on the slide looking miserable. Maybe
humming “Cellophane.” Red walks in from stage right).
WALDORF
The door is right there. Why don’t you split? Everyone else has.
(Red jiggles door... it’s locked)
WALDORF
No luck? Didn’t open for me either.
RED
Well I shouldn’t be surprised.
WALDORF
What do you mean?
RED
Don’t you see? We’re not just freed because people remember us. We’re
remembered because we’re freed... free of something that’s holding us
back. Free of something that makes us a bad example to kids.
WALDORF

What’s holding you back?
RED
What’s holding me back? I don’t know. I guess ever since a mean wolf
manipulated me, I’ve had some trust issues. Who wouldn’t?
WALDORF
Well think it over. And think it under.
(Red approaches Waldorf and holds his face, staring into
his eyes).
RED
I can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier.
WALDORF
See what?
RED
You’re a mean old man on the outside. But there’s more to you. I know
it.
WALDORF
(Getting nervous)
Oh, bother. There’s nothing more to me than what you see.
RED
There’s something kind and simple and pure about you.
(Waldorf looks hopeful... waiting to come clean).
RED
You’re Winnie the Pooh!
(He is choked up. He removes his suit, and we see his
orange fir. He slips on his ears).
RED
And I believe you’re ready to leave behind this scary island. I’ll bet
there’s a stuttering little pig who needs you right now.
POOH
Red Riding Hood. I’m sorry. Tigger and I were two of the first
characters to be banished here. It made us embarrassed, and then we
got angry. So we hid our identity (song starts) and started telling
people we were the ones responsible for keeping you here. Now I’m
discovering there’s a way out. And I’m ready to fly right out of here
and back to my forest. How about you?
S14: ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE (RED, POOH)
Winnie:
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.

Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.

So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars

MOTHER GOOSE
Piglet was the first to see Pooh entering the forest. “P-p-p-p-Pooh
Bear it’s you,” he shouted, then continued. “Pooh, Tigger just
returned, and he smells good for once.” “And why is that, Piglet,”
asked Pooh. Piglet replied, “It’s the first time he’s gone a whole
week without playing with Pooh.” And Pooh laughed and put his arm
around his nervous little friend. Meanwhile, parents across the globe
began again telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood. She was once
naïve, but when her trust was violated, her heart closed. But like
most characters of our favorite stories, she grew and taught us
something. Red still keeps here eyes wide open, but now so to is her
heart.

Scene 15: Back to the Cabin
MOTHER GOOSE (reading story)
“And then Pooh joined Tigger sitting on their favorite log by their
favorite river in the 100-acre woods just north of Doylestown. After a
few quiet moments passed by, Tigger said to Pooh, “If you live to be a
hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have
to live a day without you.” Pooh reflected on this for a moment. Then
he said back, “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together
keep me in your heart, and I’ll stay there forever.“
ASPEN
That was a great story grandmother!
BREE
I knew the whole time that those mean old men were Winnie-the-Pooh and
Tigger.
ASPEN
You did not!

BREE
I liked the whole story except for one part.
MOTHER GOOSE
And what was that, dear Bree?
BREE
When you made Aspen and me teenagers who didn’t want to hear your
stories.
ASPEN
Yes. We’ll always love your stories, Grandmother Goose.
MOTHER GOOSE
I bet you will. But if you do outgrow them for a short time, be sure
first to pass them along to your children.
ASPEN
I do have a question, Mother Goose. What was in Red’s basket?
BREE
And I have a question. You told us that would be the 2nd best story
ever. So what’s the best story ever?
MOTHER GOOSE
Well those are very good questions. Are there any parents out there?
Raise your hands. So, what was in Red’s basket? Shhhh. Don’t tell us
right now. Your children will want to know, and I’ll bet you can
imagine and tell a fascinating tale that has the answer.
And that story may be the best one ever told.
