Operatic singing puppets? A feature-length musical theatre marionette fairytale? A giant singing book puppet holding all the stories of the world?
We are pleased to announce the latest creation from the fertile minds of Dalrymple MacAlpin and his production company, Heady Lore, to be presented on October 23-26th at the Nevada Theatre.
Welcome to “Rumpelstilzchen’s Fairy Gold,” a show for both children and adults, which features the groundbreaking combination of live classical instrumentation, operatic singing, theatrical storytelling with the art of puppetry, in an original play about the Brother’s Grimm most enigmatic character. A show which unhinges the door to a fantastic new world, a show which asks the question:
“If stories come from the world of imagination, what would happen if there weren’t any stories left?”
“Rumpelstilzchen’s Fairy Gold” features 11 original songs performed live with piano, harp and vocals by MacAlpin, cello by orchestral soloist Jia-mo Chen and saxophone/vibraphone by Jesse Krautkramer. The show also features actors, singers and puppeteers Raven Aletheia, Audrey Delgado, Jori Phillip, Vicky Colombo who together bring to life two wise cracking bookworms, a mysterious witch in the woods and a larger-than-life operatic singing book.
Rumpelstilzchen’s Fairy Gold, produced by Angie Holm of Heady Lore and Swazzle will debut October 23rd to 26th at the Nevada Theatre and is currently in development for a larger national tour. Tickets are available at
