Get ready to put on your detective hat as we retell classic fairytales with a 1940's noir twist through story dramatization and character creation in this Creative Dramatics Workshop. Grades K - 5.

Based off of the book “Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty?: And Other Notorious Nursery Tale Mysteries” we will grab our magnifying glasses and retell classic tales in a 1940’s noir detective style. Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Goldilocks…are these classic characters as innocent as they appear? With a focus on story dramatization and character creation, this Creative Dramatics Workshop will be fun for children of all ages and anyone else who wants to explore fairytales from a new angle.
