The Brookwood theatre program will present “Sally Cotter and the Censored Stone” on Saturday, March 2, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 3, at 2 p.m.
“Sally Cotter and the Censored Stone” by Dean O’Carroll is a parody of the “Harry Potter” series and delightfully twists many of the devices present in fantasy fiction.
Synopsis: When Sally falls asleep while reading books about a certain juvenile wizard, she dreams that she is a student at Frogbull Academy of Sorcery. There, she meets Headmaster Albatross Underdrawers, Gamekeeper Ruebenon Ryebread, and Professor Shiftia Shape.
But danger is lurking, and it’s up to Sally and her new friends Dave and Harmonica to defeat the schemes of the evil Lord Murderdeath. Will she become the hero like the one in her favorite series? And who is the mysterious Censor who keeps rewriting the story as it goes along? This loving parody will thrill fans and newcomers alike.
The cast includes Miranda Arndt, Shannon Bryant Sheehan, Ayawyn Conner, Elijah John, Samantha Markee, Christian McElhose, Katherine McElhose, Cooper Powell, Berulo Rodriguez, Shelby Suhr-Leland and Emma Wiedmeyer.
