Gypsies in a Trunk will present “Rumplestiltskin.”
Millicent’s bragging father tells the Royal Prime Minister that she can spin straw into gold! Oops! The Prime Minister then throws her into the dungeon to do it, but she can’t! Awkward!
Elfin imp Rumpelstiltskin appears and strikes a deal with Millicent: one baby for a room straw spun into gold. All ends happy until a year later when Rumple comes back to claim ? Will baby Ralph be handed over? Will Millicent be found out? YOU can find out at our free performances!
