HOUGHTON — The combined Houghton and Hancock High School Drama Club will present “After Happily Ever After” on Friday, Nov. 19 and Saturday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 21 at 2 p.m. in the Houghton High School Auditorium.

The play is a look at the lives of a number of familiar fairytale characters when they’re not in the public eye. It turns out they’re not as perfect as they

seem. After two characters make a bet as to how the story will end, Prince Charming’s squire, Squdge, and Lulu, the personal hygiene challenged wench who lives in the forest, must work together to bring the story to a happy ending. Unfortunately, they have to deal with dim-witted princesses, witches who aren’t quite happy with their lot in life, evil villains who seem conflicted about their villainy, dwarves who aren’t quite right, a mob that wants to burn the witch but don’t seem to know why, and a plot line that isn’t following the traditional fairytale storyline.

Will Squdge and Lulu save the day? Who will win the bet? Will there be a happy ending?

Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for students and seniors.
