What should be the plot of the play that my friends and I make?
My friends and I are really into making up plays, putting on costumes, rehearsing it, and then showing it to our parents. But this time we are absolutely clueless on what to do for our play. It is only 4 people. 3 girls and 1 boy. Stories you give are always appreciated. Thanks.

It’s fun to re-enact a fairy tale. Everyone gets to play a character, or two. Put your own spin on it. This will make it easy in that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, but there’s plenty of room for creativity.
