Reality TV runs amok in this rollicking, hilarious, fully-sung, 90-minute satire in which Hansel and Gretel sue their beleaguered Stepmother for abandonment, while the irrepressible Judge Trudi and a jury of rambunctious kids dole out justice in front of a live studio audience. Raucous fun for all ages!
Check out the synopsis and the videos from our 2015 performances.
