Haphazardly Ever After by Jeff Fluharty and produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service Inc., Englewood, Colorado, has tons of magical fun mixed into in this original, one-of-a-kind fractured fairy tale farce! A kind king and queen have trouble in their royal family — four obnoxious, bratty, adult children who do not live up to their royal titles. There’s the mean Princess Cinnamon, the not-so-bright Princess Peppermint, the vain Prince Hairgel, and Prince Slacker, who thinks being a prince is just way, way too hard. The king and queen try everything to bring happiness and harmony to their family ... of course, nothing goes as planned, but everyone is changed by their experiences. And through a serious of haphazard events, the royal family just might live happily ever after, after all.
