A boy punished by his wicked stepmother, a princess fleeing her wrathful husband, an imp spinning straw for a miller and his daughter: these characters and more await Hans and Greta as they wander the woods in search of a new home. Grimm's Juniper Tree examines the magic of choice in a black-and-white world of Good and Evil. The production will feature a custom sensory collaboration with the Random Tea Room incorporated into the story.
