A Night in 'The Dark Forest' of Tanya and Charles Brandes 'Crafted for the Most Daring Souls' (page 5 of 12,) More Links page 1 ....page 2 ......page 3 ....page 4 ......page 5 .......page 6 ......page 7 ......page 8..... page 9......... page 10......page 11 .....Thursday & Friday Preview / Rehearsals "I am nearly speechless when it comes to this amazing event- what an incredible party! Around every corner lurks a surprise that captivates, titillates and tickles every sense. So many memorable moments to consider- from the clever invitation to the entertainment that wowed us all. A harp that ran the length of the room and the mega-talent of Christina Aguilera. The fun that Tanya and Charles must have had in planning and executing is only second to the thrills of their guests!" - Patsy Marino
Further along the pathway, cherub wall sconces peer hauntingly at guests through the overgrown foliage, forest creatures rustle, and a pretty Cinderella in pressed uniform and apron is revealed diligently cleaning at her stepmother's cottage. A mouse and stiletto slipper lay casually on Cinderella's cot. Enter her ugly stepsister Ernesta who wants to be prettied up by Cinderella in hopes of snagging the Prince. The Prince after all is looking for the beautiful 'sweet' maiden he danced with the night before at the Ball. The one who left behind the glass slipper. Sweet she is ....Sinderella, I mean Cinderella as she fixes not Ernesta's hair but rather neck, strangling her with a pretty hair ribbon. Whilst Ernesta lays on the floor freshly dead, in walks the evil Stepmother. Cinderella 'creeps' up behind her... slipper in hand, violently burying the stiletto heel deep into her Stepmother's skull. But wait. The Prince is beckoning from outside. He must find the fair maiden that belongs to the slipper from the Ball. Unable to extract the matching slipper from her Stepmother's head, Cinderella speedily goes to her closet. Upon opening the doors, Cinderella's other evil Stepsister is revealed dead and hanging, meanwhile Cinderella fetches one of many exact matching slippers from the other side of the closet. "Never fear, your Princess is finally here," she says with a smile and a wink. And with slipper in hand, Cinderella dashes out the door to meet her Prince. Sweet Cinderella she is..... not!

Hansel & Gretel .... A very Sweet Story The intoxicating smell of sugary sweet candy with foreboding whiffs of ginger lures Dark Forest Guests further down the catacombs of The Haunted House. A cottage entrance is revealed, prettily lined with candy swirls and colorful treats. But what lies inside is anything but 'sweet.' Through the door, the cottage kitchen is seen. Peppermint candy strips, sugary treats and oversize cookies line the walls The kitchen table is laden with piles of candies and gingerbread 'children.' Cookbooks displayed have such yummy titles as 'Children Soup for the Soul,' ..... and 'The Joy of Cooking Children!' Photos of children past, baked and gone, are displayed on the wall. The Candy Witch, sweet thing that she is, has Gretel by her at the kitchen table. Meanwhile Hansel crouches nervously eating porridge from a candied cage. It's then that Gretel realizes their fate. “She tricked us Hansel ~ Cookies and Candies and Lollipops galore! Nibbling at her little house ~ tempted for more!”cries out Gretel. Suddenly the 'hip-notic' and haunting song 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' by MUSE revs up. The Candy Witch exclaims in the direction of a wall, “I am hungry! Prepare the feast!” …Immediately two Gingerbread Men embedded in the wall emerge to do her bidding. In unison, they slowly 'pop and lock' their way over to Hansel.... the 'meal du jour.' A slow 'as molasses' motion fight ensues. As Hansel and the Gingerbread Men battle, the Candy Witch atop the oven, contorts and tries to lure Gretel to her heated demise. Desperate, Gretel brilliantly comes up with an idea to take a 'bite' out of the Candy Witches maniacal plot. Conjuring up voodoo on the gingerbread cookies, Gretel bites voraciously into cookie heads, legs, and arms. It works! The Gingerbread Men disolve into lifeless lumps and the Candy Witch writhes and twists herself into a pretzel. Hansel and Gretel shove the Candy Witch into the oven, then tug on the giant oven handle, steaming the Candy Witch to her screaming, baked death. That done, Hansel and Gretel go back to enjoy the cookies and treats.
