Charming Princes

Synopsis:
CinderElla lived the dream: she donned a gown of starlight, waltzed with the prince, and stole a (somewhat wet and slimy) kiss. So what if Charming couldn't take a hint, even when it smacked him with a six-inch stiletto? He was a prince, and that's what CinderElla had wished for. . .right? Fortunately, Fairy Godmother extraordinaire Lilynimble Merryweather is on hand to sort out stale dreams and unwanted wishes, even if it means resorting to charming a prince or two.

French Butler, The

Synopsis:
Philip's in love -- there's just one little problem: the girl Philip loves is the boss' ward. And sure enough, when his employer finds out, Philip finds himself without a job -- and without the girl. What's a young man to do? Impersonate a French butler, of course! This fast-paced and Wilde-esque comedy is a delightful ride through the absurdities of class, the dangers of suspicion, and the vital importance of being in love.

Math for Actors

Synopsis:
Math meets mayhem when studious Kate agrees to tutor Keith, an arrogant actor who's more interested in Kate than in calculus. He shows up late, he's still in costume, and he doesn't know or care what the angle of inclination is. Answering such burning questions as how many actors it takes to screw in a light bulb, Math for Actors explores the relationship between art and algebra, and finds a common denominator.
