About the Show


The Grimm family is on the verge of unveiling their amazing new Story Machine, which runs on steam and dreams, and promises to revolutionize how stories are told and how people connect. But when their fabulous contraption malfunctions, they have to invent a new way of storytelling on the spot, using puppets and help from the audience! The Grimms explore some of their favorite fairy tales, including “The Hare and the Hedgehog,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “The Brave Little Tailor.”

About the Artist


Sandglass Theater is a renowned theater company specializing in combining puppets with music, actors, and visual imagery. Since 1982, the company’s productions have toured internationally in over 30 countries, performing in theaters, festivals and cultural institutions and winning numerous international prizes. Sandglass is dedicated to the arts of theater and puppetry as a means of exploring contemporary issues, inspiring dialogue, and sparking wonder. We create original ensemble performances and collaborations, present diverse theater artists, produce events that serve our communities, and teach our art.


Founded by Ora Fruchter and Stoph Scheer, Doppelskope creates highly visual and interactive comedies that explore topics ranging from existential dread to ecological crises. The name Doppelskope is a misspelled portmanteau of “doppelganger telescope” (imagine a telescope so powerful you can see the back of your own head). Doppelskope believes in the intelligence of children and the whimsy of adults, that audience interaction empowers people to be active participants in the world, and that the stories we tell about the world can change the world.
