Below is a synopsis of the play, as well as the roles that are available to be filled.

Four narrators and a cast of 20+ performers attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza! To make it even more challenging, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Witches, along with other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa, Faithful Johannes, and The Devil's Grandmother.
