Building Tales Together
The cast begins each show with our protagonist in need of a play and only the audience members to help build it. Their discoveries and choices lead into the opening acts of our original fairy tales, which are created on the spot from their suggestions.
The Folktale Adventures of Nigel Pepper
Nigel Pepper just inherited an antique shop from his grandfather. Nigel didn't think that owning an antique shop would be very exciting, and he certainly never thought that it would lead to all sorts of adventures. How WRONG he was. You see, along with the antique shop, Nigel also became the owner of his grandfather's magical globe!! This globe can take Nigel (or anyone else who touches it) anywhere in the entire world and drops them directly into a folk tale from that country.
