Nov. 30 - Dec. 3
Rumpelstiltzkin
In this adaptation of Grimm's story some children are discovered playing “Ladderwords”, changing one word to another, a single letter at a time, retaining an actual word during each change. Grettle says she can change “flax” into “gold”. Unfortunately the King, whose gold is mysteriously disappearing, hears this and mistakes it for an actual boast. He orders Grettle to work the change or she will lose her head, despite the protests of the Prince, who is in love with her. Rumpelstiltzkin, comes and offers to help her – at a price. The play then follows the story in the details of the defeat of the gnome by the guessing of his secret name and, despite other complications from the wicked Baron and his henchmen, all ends happily in this hilarious comedy where the audience becomes part of the play! Tickets are $10.00 each.
