Rumpelstilzchen's Fairy Gold
"What do you remember about Rumpelstilzchen?"
"Wasn't he the one who
spins straw into gold?"
"Why yes, but in our
re-telling of the story we learn
what Rumpelstilzchen really spins
is much more precious than gold,
for he spins stories"

Debut performances October 23rd-26th, At The Nevada Theatre, Nevada City, CA
No one has ever gone back to the origins of Rumpelstilzchen and answered the questions about
who is and where he comes from. However, when we look deeper into the Brother's Grimm fairy tale; Rumpelstilzchen, we find a very misunderstood and sympathetic character.
Why is he forever cast as a villain when the real evil lurking between the pages is a ruthless King
consumed by greed?
In Rumpelstilzchen’s Fairy Gold, Rumpel finally gets to be the hero and tell his side of the story.
With the help of two wise cracking bookworms, a mysterious witch in the woods and a larger-than-life operatic singing book, Rumpelstilzchen sets off on a quest to become a story spinner, save the world and answer the question:
"If stories come from the world of imagination, what would happen if there weren't any stories left?"
