“twisted fairytalles” halloween showcase

submissions 2025

This showcase reimagines classic fairytales — but with a dark and spooky twist. Instead of happily-ever-after, imagine what happens if the story takes a creepy turn. Each performer will choose a fairytale character and bring them to life in a way that’s haunting, eerie, or unexpected.

When applying, you’ll share your chosen character, your “twist,” and how you imagine telling that story on stage.
