The Academy Theatre at Ray-Pec High School is pleased to present the Freshman/Sophomore comedic One Act Play, Brothers Grimm Speculation. The show has two casts The Ray Cast and The Pec Cast and is directed by Jayme Overstreet and Technical Director, Adam Segura. The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride of a play as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre, obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother and The Girl Without Hands. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of silliness and madcap fun.
