RUMPELSTILTSKIN 2026 Summer Library Tour
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
