Synopsis

Our heroine sets off on a quest of self-discovery and needs your help! Using traditional fables, original songs and silly characters, this show focuses on bullying, female empowerment and working together. Starring 11 year old Aviv Cohen, audiences young and old will relate to her journey. A friendly bookworm takes our protagonist to a fantastical land where anything is possible. Amongst catchy new songs and spectacular choreography this story will spark a discussion about how we interact with our peers. Join us in the Land of Fables! (Toronto Fringe Festival program)
