About the show

Everyone knows how fairy tales end: “…and they all lived happily ever after.” But has anyone ever asked what happens after happily ever after?


Welcome to After the Rainbow—where a seemingly innocent town hall meeting quickly spins into colorful chaos. There are crumbling roads, questionable leadership, flying-monkey grievances, banned books, political campaigns, a horse with an identity crisis…and one VERY surprising revelation about the Wizard!


Performed in the Vintage Players’ signature 1940s radio-style readers theatre format, After the Rainbow is a fast-paced original comedy filled with wordplay, familiar fairy-tale winks, and just enough contemporary mischief to make you wonder, “Wait…did they really just say that?”


Come for the laughs. Stay for the chaos. And discover what happens when a colorful group of old friends finally takes off their tinted glasses and begins to see things a little differently.



Because apparently…“happily ever after” was only the beginning.
