Performances will take place in empty
storefronts, public schools, cafes, restaurants, the Lakefront and bars in an effort to
showcase the community and collaborate with businesses to bring more patrons to
the Edgewater and Andersonville neighborhoods. This unique event invites over
20 established theater-makers and performance companies to present a weekend of
new, short works based on international fairy tales and fables – often accompanied
by music, puppets, food and drink.
