I'm in need of an inexpensive children's show performed by adults.  It must have a small cast, utilize a small space with minimal set changes.  Any suggestions??

I once saw a traveling show for kids based on fairy tales.  Although I don't know the script, it was notable because it had a nominal cast of a dozen or so characters, played by 3-4 actors.  It also had a 'set' with dozens of scenes, played in a creative way.  The background was set on something like a shower curtain rod. There were rings across the top of painted backgrounds--or rather one continuous background.  So as little red riding hood exited stage left, she pulled her wood background with her, revealing grannies house as the wolf and granny entered stage right.  Once granny and the wolf finished, they exited stage left pulling the painting of grannies house with them. Costume changes occured behind the background (no wings needed!) and mostly consisted of costume notes like hats, or capes, or simple props.  It was particularly effective for traveling shows.
