Tears of Joy presents
"Rumpelstiltskin"
January 9

Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre brings amazing puppetry to audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad. Recognized nationally for its commitment to excellence and innovation, its acclaimed school programs introduce children to the magic of the performing arts.

He’s quick. He’s sly. He’s fantastic—in a scary sort of way. Can you guess his name? It’s Rumpelstiltskin! Award-winning playwright Sharon Whitney made her debut with Tears of Joy Theatre with this production. While respecting the tradition of the classic story, she adapted the tale for a modern context. In the original version by the Brothers Grimm, the central female figure is not even given a name. The heroine in this production not only has a name, Lola, but also manages to solve her own problems. Tears of Joy Theatre’s puppets bring the miller and his daughter, the king and the mysterious Rumpelstiltskin to life.
