"The Revolt of the Evil Fairies" by Ted Poston (Off the Shelf: Short Stories Out Loud)

"The Revolt of the Evil Fairies"
By Ted Poston
Adapted and directed by Christian Lebano
With Marc Antonio Pritchett, Donna Simone Johnson, and Onederful Martin
The annual Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty production at Booker T. Washington Colored Grammar School was the dramatic event of the year in town. However, it was clear that regardless of talent, light skinned African Americans were regularly picked to play the lead roles and the good fairies while the evil fairies were always darker-skinned African Americans like Ted. After being cast as an Evil Fairy once again, Ted decides to take matters into his own hands.
