He begins chanting a rhyme and soon the Witch, Number 1, Number 2, Princess, and Frog Prince come onstage and chant different ryhmes. Everyone constantly swats at flies throughout the play because there is an infestation of them. The Narrator begins telling the “Frog Tale” while creating a rulebook for the Frog Tale as he goes. Peter Pan comes flying into the scene with Tinker Bell, and the Narrator ushers them away, explaining that The Frog Prince is a Frog Tale and not a Fairy Tale. The Narrator explains that the Witch, although “mean and tyrannical, is in love with the handsome, young Prince Joe because he always tells the truth.” Prince Joe comes onstage and expertly swats a bunch of flies. The Witch proposes to Prince Joe, but he says no because her wart is too ugly. To teach him a lesson, the Witch turns the Prince into a Frog. The spell can only be broken if a princess lets the Frog Prince sit next to her, eat from her plate, sleep in her bed for three nights, and kisses the Frog Prince’s wart. The Frog Prince finds a nice, ­comfortable wishing well to live in right next to a castle that 3 princesses live in. He waits in the well for months and months but no princess comes to rescue him. Finally, a princess arrives carrying a lovely golden ball. She throws her ball up and down and accidentally drops it into the well. The princess begins to whine and cry about dropping her ball. The Frog Prince then makes a deal with the princess that he will bring her ball back if she promises to sit next to him, let him eat from her plate, let him sleep on her bed for three nights, and kiss his wart. She agrees and the Frog Prince retrieves her ball. The princess takes her ball and then darts away as fast as she can, leaving the Frog Prince behind. Much to his dismay, the Frog Prince begins hopping his way to the castle, which is a very long trip for a frog. Finally, he arrives at the castle where the French Maid is serving dinner to the Princess and her father. Prince Charming arrives at the house with a glass slipper and says that whoever fits in the shoe will be his wife. The Narrator kicks him out, though, because he is from “Cinderella” which is a fairy tale. The Kings other daughters, Princess Opie and Princess Dopie, arrive at the dinner table and bicker about silly, petty things. The Frog Prince arrives and calls for the Princess asking her to fulfill her promise. She screams and whines, but eventually lets him sit next to her, eat from her plate, and sleep on her bed for three nights. The Frog Prince asks her to fulfill the final 1 promise and kiss his wart. She refuses and leaves in a huff just as the French Maid is entering. The French Maid offers to kiss him on the wart to see if it will break the spell. She tries, but it still does not break the spell. Instead, the French Maid offers him a plan she has come up with. Suddenly, Annie arrives singing “Tomorrow, tomorrow...” and the Narrator, after having a nervous breakdown, makes her leave the stage. The Narrator then continues with the story and explains the French Maid’s plan to disguise the Frog Prince as Prince Charming and ask for a kiss. The Princess notices the disgusting smell and figures out that it is the Frog Prince in disguise. The Frog Prince tells her that if she doesn’t kiss his wart, he will never, ever, ever, ever, ever go away. But if she does kiss his wart, she will never, ever, ever, ever, have to see him again. She kisses him on the wart and he turns into a Prince in front of her very eyes. Each of the three princesses confesses her love to Prince Joe, but he has fallen in love with the French Maid who loved him unconditionally. The French Maid then reveals herself as the Witch and the Prince honestly finds her very beautiful, wart and all. The Witch and Prince Joe forbid the Narrator to make any more rules and they go live happily ever after.

EFRAIM SICHER Signature of student: ________________ Date: _________ Signature of supervisor: ________________ Date: _________ Signature of chairperson of the committee for graduate studies: _______________ Date: _________ November 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the representation of Jewish characters in contemporary American television comedies in order to determine whether Jews are still depicted stereotypically as emasculate. The thesis compares Jewish and non-Jewish masculinities in American Television sitcom characters in shows airing from the 1990's to the present: Seinfeld, Friends, and The Big Bang Theory. The thesis asks whether there is a difference between the representation of Jews and non-Jews in sitcoms, a genre where most men are mocked for problematic masculinity. The main goal of the thesis is to find out whether old stereotypes regarding Jewish masculinity – the "jew" as weak, diseased, perverted and effeminate – still exist, and how the depiction of Jewish characters relates to the Jews' assimilation and acceptance in America.

The unit notes that in his musical "Into the Woods" Sondheim incorporates (and distorts) elements of traditional fairy tales to create a lively and unique piece of theater. In the unit, students will create the libretto and script for an original musical based on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, "The Frog Prince." The unit's lesson--Sondheim's "Into the Woods": Fairy Tale Tunes--takes only two days to complete. Its classroom activities focus on improvisational techniques and small-group work. The unit provides a step-by-step detailed instructional plan for the teacher. (NKA) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
