ONDINE: A Queer Fairytale is a humorous and insightful story told in verse, featuring Ondine, a queer water sprite who falls in love with the brave knight Hans. But there's a twist! Ondine must make a promise to an ancient being, creating a challenge for their love. Together, they navigate the complexities of love and the human world with help from Ondine's whimsical underwater friends.

This tale celebrates Queer-ness, providing LGBTQIA+ kids and teens the opportunity to see themselves represented on stage in a joyful community space. Through Ondine's journey, children learn to process emotions and overcome challenges, fostering empathy and resilience.

Come be captivated by Brett Crandall's unique storytelling through puppetry.
