Celebrate 25 years of Children’s Theatre is this year, as Director and Writer, John I Baker, III brings back a fan favorite, “A Grimm Adventure” to the YPCT Stage!
In this fanciful and charming reframing of the Grimm’s fairy tales, the Queen finds herself in a bind when an imp, Rumpelstiltskin, demands her first born child as payment for a previous agreement. Rumpelstiltskin gives the Queen an out – all she has to do is provide his name. The King sends out a proclamation across the kingdom, that whoever can provide the imps name will be rewarded richly. A down and out storyteller, her sidekick, and an annoying talking frog, set out on an adventure to provide the King with a possible name. Along the way the travelers come across many famous fairy tale characters, discovering their stories in the process. Red Cap makes an appearance, as does Hansel and Gretel, the Pied Piper of Hamlin, Snow-White, and several other famous characters join in adding fun and laughter to this comical production where there is a new twist around every corner.
