Imagine you are the director for a theatrical production of your favorite fairy tale.

Part 1- Please provide a detailed analysis of your story's central conflict and theme. Summarize the plot. Give a brief description of the main character's goal in the story and their obstacles to this goal. Additionally, discuss the reasons you chose this story and why you believe it is relevant for audiences today. Why this show; why now? Adaptations to modern day are encouraged!

Part 2- Answer the following questions about your production. Simply describing another production of you fairy tale is not acceptable. What makes YOUR version unique?

Casting
Assuming you can have any actor of your choosing, who would you cast for 3 of your characters in the show? Make a sentence or two explaining each choice. (Consider how the actors have chemistry with each other.)

Costumes
Describe how you would design each of your 3 character's costumes. Be sure to consider colors and textures. Please note, a good description comprises more than the phrase "Normal clothes." Please use specifics in your response. Feel free to include pictures to compliment your descriptions.

Set Design
What would your stage look like? How many sets would you need to prepare? How would they come on and off stage? What elements would you add to your live show that would make it a different experience than watching the movie at home? You may wish to refer to the text for options and ideas. Feel free to include pictures to compliment your descriptions.

Lighting
In a few sentences, how would you use lighting to enhance the mood or a particular scene? Remember to take into account your costumes as you design the lights! Feel free to include pictures to compliment your descriptions. These could be pictures that evoke the same mood you want to see on stage.
