Director's Message:

My wife Kelli and I work in health care.

When COVID-19 placed the world on hold in 2020, I worked as an X-ray tech in a clinic. The world halted, but hospitals and clinics did not. We were so busy we had to turn people away at reception because our current workload wouldn’t allow us to catch up before closing.

During that time, I met patients of all backgrounds and quirks. Many of them shared undesired opinions on every conceivable topic, including true love. These characters were too funny to ignore. They had to be portrayed in a play.

Then it occurred to me: Do Fairy Tale creatures have to overcome the same health concerns humans have? If they do, where do they go?

I wrote this for all healthcare workers who deal with difficult patients daily without complaint. We want to complain, but if we do, it’s a HIPPA violation.
