Once upon a time there was a dwarf named Rumpels... wait, you probably know that part already. This reimagining of the classic fairy tale features two strong-willed sisters: Anya, shy and romantic, and Ingrid, outspoken and sensible. When their widowed mother is once again victim to the judgments of others, she tells a tiny lie -- Anya can turn straw into gold. Soon, the story "spins" out of control when the King believes Anya is the reason their nation is out of money and demands she perform her special skill for the royal coffers. Mix in magical companions, mistaken identities, a short villain, and princess wannabes -- is this a recipe for disaster? Or happily ever after?

Directors Josh Gross, Laura Howard, and Ashby Amory bring this classic fairy with a twist to the Riverfront Theater stage with the help of 34 amazing cast members spanning all age groups. This cast will make you laugh and be on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Celebrating our 10th season this version of Rumpelstiltskin shows the growth of the children's theater from over the years. This cast will take you on a magical journey though this classic fairy tale with a twist. Please don't miss this great show. Bring the whole family it is fun for all ages.
