The Helpful Little Fox at The Vault Theater & Event Space
The clever little Fox is oh so fond of stealing delicious apples from all corners of Grimm’s Forest. But when the Witch catches Fox stealing apples from her garden, she curses Fox, vowing to turn him into a bug unless he is able to complete three challenges to change his ways of trickery and deceit. Fox sets off on a journey to help the daughter of a king, a boastful tailor, and a wicked stepsister in a brand new story that weaves together characters from Grimm’s The Frog Prince, The Brave Little Tailor, and the lesser-known The Three Little Men in the Wood. Over the course of his journey, Fox learns to value loyalty, honesty, and kindness, and in the end, truly becomes a helpful little Fox.
The Helpful Little Fox… is Bag&Baggage’s second world-premiere adaptation created specifically for young audiences (aged 6-10) through the Emerging Artist Program; the show is researched, written, designed, and performed by Olivia Anderson, Kai Hennig, Jurnee Neeko, and Darwin Pringle.
Suggested age: 6-10, but enjoyable for all audiences!
