The Emerald Bachelorette

Recommended by

  • Klae Bainter: The Emerald Bachelorette

    This is a retelling of the Princess and the Frog presented as a modern dating show that pokes at the generational divide with charm and silliness. Rutkowski's choice to decenter humans makes for an equitable approach to character work for any young theatre group looking for a new short play.
