2015 NYSS Event

The 2015 National Youth Storytelling Showcase event was held Sep 1 – 5 in Orem, Utah.

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, Alice fell down the rabbit hole. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Open sesame! Fee-fi-fo-fum! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Off with their heads! And they all lived happily ever after. I’ll huff and I’ll puff, but the golden goose lays golden eggs. Be our guest, under the sea, with a pocket full of posies. Slay the Jabberwocky, for the night is dark and full of terrors. To be or not to be, that is the question, said the Mad Hatter. Abracadabra! The seven dwarfs lived in the Hundred Acre Wood. With great power comes great responsibility, said the little engine that could.

Too Many Fairies”

The clock struck midnight, and the pumpkin turned into a carriage. Three little pigs built houses of straw and climbed beanstalks to the enchanted castle. Cinderella lost her glass slipper while chasing the Cheshire Cat through Wonderland. Rapunzel let down her long hair to rescue the beauty and the beast. Peter Pan sprinkled Tinker Bell with fairy dust and battled the fire-breathing dragon. Puss in Boots donned Red Riding Hood’s cape and outwitted the wicked witch.

The snow queen froze Hansel and Gretel’s gingerbread house, and they rode Aladdin’s magic carpet to safety. Sleeping Beauty woke up, kissed the frog prince, and together they rode the magic carpet to the emerald city. Jack and the Beanstalk traded Rumpelstiltskin’s spinning wheel for Aladdin’s lamp, and they all lived happily ever after.
