Synopsis
Spunky, young Ruth dreams of being a Knight of the Round Table. But King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot and her other heroes laugh at her when she demonstrates her valor in a battle with a melodramatic lizard pretending to be a dragon. Humiliated, Ruth sets off to form her own queendom that is bigger and better than Camelot, bringing with her the lizard and a mule that she claims is a unicorn. Soon they are joined by a frog, whom Ruth declares to be an ogre; a skunk, whom she pronounces a wizard (because the skunk makes everyone disappear); and two kids, whom she dubs her bravest knights. On their quest, they meet the enchanting Lady of the Lake, a bumbling Merlin, riddle-loving trolls, a vain unicorn and the evil sorcerers Morgana le Fay and Mordred, who have their own plan to outdo King Arthur.

Customer Reviews
- "This a fun show with a great message. Ruth is a character that children and parents can relate to. There are many opportunities to be creative with scenery, costumes, and props. My high school students had a wonderful time performing and our audiences really enjoyed the show. The "dad jokes" from Cow were a big hit with the adults in the audience as well!"
- Review by Jennifer Jarman Sandau, Park Hill High School, Kansas City, Mo.

“The power of a spunky little girl is not be underestimated, for it can take her to great heights and make her detractors appear foolish.” —East Valley Tribune
