The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon: One-Act

Don Zolidis

October 9th and 10th at 7:00 pm, October 11th at 2:00 pm Memorial Hall Auditorium

Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil’s Grandmother. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of madcap fun.


THE BROTHERS GRIMM SPECTACULATHON (ONE-ACT) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Playscripts. www.concordtheatricals.com

Why Choose Theatre at Chadron State College?

Studying Theatre at Chadron State College gives students the rare opportunity to play an active role in shaping a growing, student-centered program. From their first semester, students are invited to participate meaningfully in productions—whether onstage or behind the scenes—so they can immediately begin developing their skills in performance, design, and technical theatre.

Our program is intimate, personal, and committed to meeting students where they are. We guide them in building the artistic careers they aspire to, while also helping them cultivate the qualities that make theatre training uniquely valuable beyond the stage. A theatre education at Chadron State fosters a deeper understanding of the human condition through thoughtful storytelling, honest and organic acting practices, research-driven technical work, and sustained self-reflection.

By engaging in this work, students not only develop a strong foundation for professional life in the arts, but also gain greater emotional intelligence, empathy, and the ability to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships—skills essential to a fulfilling life in any field.
