Synopsis
Kara is floundering in Story Brewing 401, where final projects are brewed—literally—in cauldrons. Out of ideas, they cobble together a clichéd fairy tale starring a pompous prince, a self-saving princess, and a villain modelled after their crush, Eva. Then a suspicious vial of ink falls in. And so does Kara. Trapped inside their own half-finished story, Kara must survive a world gone off-script—one warped by corrupted ink and haunted by discarded drafts. Don’t Fall In is a queer, spooky, and emotionally charged new musical that flips fantasy tropes on their heads and asks: what happens when the story writes back? (fringetoronto.com)
