Fidgety Fairy Tales give information about mental health disorders by retelling familiar fairy tales. Each story contains positive messages and portrayals of children with mental health disorders as well as some of the common symptoms of a disorder. It has appealed to many different age groups from preschool to adults. Each group has responded very positively to the performance. Grades four and up seem to absorb the mental health message more easily, although we have been at schools with strong mental health curriculum where kindergarteners have asked very poignant questions. –Via MACMH Website Seating is limited for live shows, so reservations are recommended. Shows are often free, but sell out fast. You can find a calendar of upcoming shows on the Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health (“MACMH”) Website. In 2020, MACMH created two on-demand videos, which you can find on their website — Chicken Little and the Tortoise and the Hare. Watch the videos here.

Love this idea!! Do you have any shows coming soon?
Thank you for reminding us about this awesome resource, Renee. We hadn’t updated the entry since 2015. Fidgety Fairy Tales is still offered through MACMH, however, like most theatre in the Twin Cities, live shows are on hiatus because of Covid19. Last year, they added a couple on-demand videos to their site. The entry is now updated with links to the live-show calendar and to the on-demand videos.
