To the Fairest at
Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School
Tuesday December 17th at 7:00pm
To the Fairest began as a frenzied creation from the span of three days at the end of 2022. Now, after bringing the show to the New York Theater Festival and 54 Below, we’re more than excited to bring a more family-friendly version of our mythic tale closer to our home base in Connecticut.

Enjoyed Fairest?
You might also like some of our other work too! We’ve been writing up a storm over the past several years— including a Brothers Grimm adaptation, a real life event, and more!

We’re fortunate enough to have had that same Brothers Grimm adaptation, Shudder, accepted to the New York Theater Festival for January 2025! Consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign to get this weird little, sorta-horror, sorta-hilarious show off the ground.
