However, everything has its price, and her future hinges on Alana discovering the name of this troll-like creature. Rumplestiltskin features unique and exciting puppetry to heighten an entertaining comedy about greed, love, and trickery. This performance is directed, as well as, set and puppetry designed by UH MFA 2020 Alum Afsaneh Aayani.
