Happily Ever Once Upon, a fairy tale farce, is being staged at Our Town Theatre in Oakland next week. “Have you ever wondered what happened after the ball was over?” asked director Christie Elmlinger. “This play checks in with Prince Charming and Cinderella 20 years after the clock struck midnight. We learn that the Enchanted Kingdom is broke, Cinderella’s fairy godmother is a blackmailer with a penchant for B-grade Western movies, and having five kids makes your feet so big the glass slippers no longer fit. Join us for an evening of laughter and love and see why the best fairy tales have real-life happy endings.”

The show will open Wednesday, Feb. 29, and run through Sunday, March 4. Productions start at 8 p.m. on all dates but March 4, when the show will start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and $10 on Friday and Saturday. The director noted that this show “is not a princess fairy tale for young children.” The play contains some adult themes and mildly foul language, and is appropriate for those age 14 and older. Elmlinger designed the set, Ben Sincell is the lighting designer, Emily Elmlinger is the stage manager, and Ted Hughes built the set. The cast is pictured. In the front, from left, are Joshua Elmlinger, Jen Shillingburg, and Tammy Beitzel. In the middle row, same order: Dylan Barnard, Hannah Newcomb, Matt Steyer, Nixon Malcolm, Becca Flinn, and Rachael Huxford. In back, armed with pistols, is Lynne Elmlinger. Reservations are recommended, and may be made by calling the theatre at 301-334-5640.
