A girl finds herself in an unfamiliar world.  Her memory blank, all she has is an empty book and a trusty unicorn sidekick.  Together they set out on a mission through a land filled with puppets and interactive scenery to recover the missing pieces that will hopefully unlock her memories and help her find her way home.  But what if the story she’s trying to find is the very thing she sought to escape from?  A powerful show about healing and moving forward. Puppets, wonder, humor, heart.

More about Fighting Unicorns:
On the surface, “Fighting Unicorns” is a hero’s journey told through a world of puppets. But underneath, the main character is processing trauma through the safety of a childlike world. Recently, I started therapy for C-PTSD. The process has honestly been pretty awful at times, but also indescribably life changing. It also inspired me to write “Fighting Unicorns”. Processing difficult emotions can be terrifying and exhausting. I wanted to create something that could help people do it in a safe and entertaining way. And a unicorn sidekick never hurts! If I can help make one person’s heart lighter, that would be amazing.  

Fighting Unicorns is part of The Social Butterfly Project, a group of five shows independently producing at the Phoenix Theater, aiming to provide awareness and support on mental health issues.   The Social Butterfly Project was created by the amazing Jena Young and is featuring shows by Rob Ward, Jena Young, David Hellstrom and Angela Fox.
