Late Snow, A
Synopsis:
It's just another day in sunny Florida for Ron and Phyllis, a recently retired couple form the Northeast, until Ron finds his wife staring through the sliding glass doors at the falling "snow." Concerned enough to cancel his golf game, Ron remains at home with Phyllis, who rejects his suggestions of ways in which to enjoy their new Florida lifestyle. She focuses instead on the "children" building a snowman outside their condo and the happy anticipation of a mug of hot chocolate.

Wolf Who Was a Vegetarian, The and Other Slightly Bizarre Stories
Synopsis:
A lively troupe of actors prepares to enact a half-dozen familiar tales, promising to put a new spin on them. As a result, the audience for this play participates in a reshaping of six much-loved stories. In this new version of "Little Red Riding Hood," the big, bad wolf is an environmentalist who means no harm to anyone. Snow White stumbles into a cottage filled with computers. Rapunzel, an aspiring rapper, is a self-involved young woman who wants to impress a television audience. Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty duke it out for the one and only Prince Charming, a hapless young fellow. Goldilocks becomes Goldenlocks, a slick safecracker with nary a blond hair on his head, who finds himself sharing a jail cell with Papa Bear. And Jack of beanstalk fame struggles as his story is propelled by an increasingly demanding narrator. Throughout the show, members of the audience supply answers, produce sound effects, vote, and even join the actors on the stage to dance or to portray characters, both human and animal
