👑Princess Party Smackdown👑
🎭Written By: Don Zolidis
🎭Presented By: The June Squibb Theatrical Society
🎭Admission: $5 for Adults, Free for students
🎭Synopsis: Olivia's seventh birthday party is going to be amazing. Her mother is going to make sure of it. That's why she's hired 2 different princesses, a fairy, an adorable baby horse, a rabbit suffering an identity crisis, and a weird alien thing to show up. But Olivia's outrageous demands lead to an improv-ed princess show that ends in bloody noses, animal sacrifice, and probably an alien takeover of the planet.
