Description: Penny and the Magic Medallion is set in the mythical kingdom of Reginald the Righteous, who can never admit he is wrong. "Forthright, upright, and all right," the King is plagued by inefficency. His cook can't cook, his sentinel can't stay awake, and his herald can't herald. At least that's the way the King sees things. Into the castle comes Bonibini, a whimsical failed magician who offers the King a solution to his problems. A mysterious medallion he gives to the King has the power to turn people into highly efficient robots. Mechanical and unemotional, the staff is soon bustling around the castle, following orders to the letter. The servants' perfection soon begins to irritate the King, but before he realizes it, his wife and favorite page are also transformed into spiritless automatons. To stop the medallion, the King must unscramble a puzzle. With the help of the audience, he discovers the secret words that break the spell: "I am wrong." Ordinarily, the King gets violently ill at the sound of the word "wrong," but this time he learns it's not so bad after all. The spell is broken, and, as they say in fairy tales, they all live happily ever after.
