RUMPELSTILTSKIN-Summer Library Tour 2026
Promises can be tricky things—especially in a kingdom where magic has a way of twisting even the simplest deal. In this lively marionette adventure, the mysterious Rumpelstiltskin spins more than straw into gold; he spins the whole royal family into a tangle of choices, consequences, and courage. With music, mischief, and a dash of fairy dust humor, the story becomes a celebration of honesty, teamwork, and the magic of reading. And when Baby Sweet Pea toddles in with a book bigger than she is, audiences discover that every great tale—especially the ones found in the library—has the power to turn even the trickiest promise into a happy ending

Holli Rubin takes two of our shows out to schools this year. The first is “Little Red Riding Hood.” Everything happens on the way to Grannie’s house. Little Red forgets what Mama tells her, gets lost in the woods, then makes the mistake of talking to a Stranger. Now everyone is in Danger. Luckily, they all live happily ever after later.

I was just sharing with Patti my earliest memory of these toys. They were my Mom's. She got them from her Mama on her 21st B-Day at a honkytonk Polka Parlor. I learned to dance there too. It's name then and still today is Kubiack's and you can hop and twirl as you do the Polka there. I wish bright happy memories for everybody.
