Rumpelstiltskin • A Medieval Musical Fairy Tale



Rumpelstiltskin

Book and Lyrics by Mimi Bean

Music by C. Michael Perry

A fast moving Family musical that tells the wonderful story of Rumplestiltskin. During a May Festival, somewhere centuries ago, two traveling minstrels visit a small community where, with the help of the townspeople, they stage a production of a strange tale of a small man who steals children and sells them — Rumplestiltskin. It just so happens that they cast a real evil magician in the title role. Music, romance and magic weave together as the townspeople unite to outwit the man who sells children, both in the imaginary tale and in real life.  We invite you to join with us and celebrate our May Festival any time. Another feature of the script is that several characters face challenges in their personal lives, as many people in the audience do. TI dances and signs his way through the show because he is not able to speak. BETHE is blind, yet sees things very clearly through her other senses. They highlight those who are special, yet some think, different. A very timely message of enoblement.
