PRODUCTION HISTORY

Virtual

After the success of *Tier5 Sings!* and our animated *Romeo & Juliet*, Tier5 returned to its roots with *Fairytales From Home*.

A group of Storytellers have gathered together to write new adaptations of classic fairytales with a bit of a wicked twist. The stories will then be filmed DIY style by our talented Tier5 ensemble, edited, and presented in one magical evening of mayhem. It’ll be a once upon a time you don’t want to miss, as creators and performers from various cities, states, and countries come together to bring these stories to life!

**All eight fairytales are now available to stream on our YouTube channel, anytime, for free!**
