GrimmFest

May 23 - June 1, 2013

An Evening of Short Plays

GrimmFest brought together eight short plays inspired by the Brothers Grimm, nearly 50 artists, and put them all in one room.

FFT’s first literary festival brought together playwrights, directors, actors, puppeteers, musicians, designers, and visual artists to reimagine these fairytales for the stage. One shared design team connected eight very different pieces, with original projections, music, puppetry, and more transforming the festival into one strange world.
