Stephen Mills’ Grimm Tales reveals the cautionary truths lurking beneath the surface of 19th-century fairy tales. Choreographed by Mills and featuring surreal, hand-animated projections by acclaimed artist Natalie Frank, this mesmerizing production reimagines three haunting fairy tales—The Frog King, Snow White, and The Juniper Tree—through a feminist lens. Grimm Tales immerses audiences in a world where innocence meets darkness. With an original score by Graham Reynolds, costumes by Tony Award-nominated designer Constance Hoffman, and an awe-inspiring set by George Tsypin. This is one wild ride through the woods!
