Kandy Kane’s Kristmas Krisis
or
There’s A Sucker In Every Crowd
by
M. K. O'Roark
Cast: 4 Men 3 Women
Set: Interior Candy Store
It’s Kristmas time and the folks at Kandy Kane’s Kristmas Konfectionary are working overtime in order to get ready for the big rush. Kristmas Eve is, in fact, the only day out of the year in which Kandy Kane and her sweet mother, Sugar, are open to the public. This means that her best customer, Tina Truffles, only has the one day each year in which to stock up. Everything is going according to plan until the mean and nasty Peanut Brittle, with the help of the sexy Ginger Snaps, informs Kandy that he has wrestled the mortgage to her store away from kindly old Red Licorice and plans to turn her sweet smelling konfectionary into a foul smelling cigar shop. Only our stalwart hero, Daniel Divinity can save the day. A deliciously delightful story with a chewy center and a sweet ending.
