Faulty Fairytales
Creator & Performer - Panto-WHAT?!
April 1, 2018
Imagine a fairytale with magic and kings, enchanted animals, and princesses with rings… without traditional gender roles. Panto-WHAT?! Theater Company builds new stories using classic characters and popular narratives that reverse normative gender roles and expectations.
About the Show
Characters are constructed and dialogue is devised in real time: the audience has to untangle the mess of mishaps, help the characters solve their problems, and find their own endings! Adults and children agree, Faulty Fairytales is a “thigh slapping good time!”
Festival History
Faulty Fairytales was accepted into FEAST Festival in April 2018, a platform for new works in progress in New York City. The play had its first mixed age, and LGBTQIA+ audience, and was met with positive feedback and a standing ovation.
Mission
Panto-WHAT?! is excited to hire a full cast of LGBTQIA+ artists and perform Faulty Fairytales in traditional venues and community spaces such as parks, LGBTQIA centers, schools, arts programs, and meeting halls.
