Fidgety Fairy Tales
Fidgety Fairy Tales - The Mental Health Musicals re-imagine familiar stories to raise awareness about mental health. Since 2008, we have created 36 fairy tales that reduce the fear and misunderstanding around a wide variety of mental health disorders and topics. We are currently adapting some of our stories into online puppet shows while live performances are on pause. Enjoy!
