PRINCESS CONFIDENTIAL: FORTRESS FALLS
4 Stars- EDMONTON JOURNAL

"The third entry in the series of children’s plays by Ellen Chorley stands strongly next to the others, as both Simon (Neil Kuefler) and Abigail (Merran Carr-Wiggin) amuse, entertain, and even subtly educate kids while also keeping the attention of the adults in attendance."

Enter the Calvin Keller and the Poorest Travelling Chautauqua in the Canadian Prairies. What's a Chautauqua, you ask? It's a travelling show with a big tent with a lectures, music, dancing and story-telling! Only problem is, Calvin doesn't have a tent. Or lectures. Or musicians. Or a dance floor. Can Calvin overcome the odds and give the town of Skiff the best night of the summer? An interactive and fun historical play.

PARENTS: "Trail and Error" does feature a few choice "adult" words, but other than the occasional cuss, the content of the play is managable for older children or young teens and doesn't really have anything else offensive in it (unless you find camping, hiking, outhouses, or one woman shows offensive.)
