Step Into a World of Enchantment with A Faery Hunt

Do you remember the wonder of childhood—the belief in magic, the possibility that fairies might truly exist, and the sparkle of sunlight that seemed to hold hidden secrets? With A Faery Hunt, that childlike enchantment is brought to life once again! This immersive, interactive performance allows children to step into a world of goodness, nature’s beauty, and the magic of kindness.

A Magical Vision Brought to Life

A Faery Hunt is the imaginative creation of theatre performer and musician Debbie Rothstein, who has been part of the entertainment world for over 50 years. The inspiration for this magical experience came to her during a simple walk in the woods. “I was hiking in the forest and I saw a vision of actors performing in nature as characters,” she recalls. “It looked like Fairyland, and I thought—I'd make it Fairyland!”

Enchantment, Nature, and Joy

The performances also emphasize the importance of nature. Before each show, children and their faery friends make a heartfelt pledge:

“As summer turns to fall, and winter into spring, I will keep my promise, I swear upon my wings.”

This beautiful tradition helps young audiences appreciate and respect the natural world.

A Hands-On Adventure for All Ages

Before the show begins, children can explore and search for faery treasures—glistening gems, delicate seashells, and vibrant feathers. Then, they embark on a magical, interactive journey alongside their faery friends. Though designed for children, adults are welcome to join in the fun, making it an experience the whole family can enjoy.

Guests are encouraged to dress up in their favorite fantasy attire—whether as a majestic night dragon, a shimmering mermaid, or a whimsical faery. Each performance begins at 10:30 a.m. and lasts approximately an hour. Tickets are $15 per person, with children 23 months and under admitted for free. Special faery accessories, including wings, garlands, and wizard hats, are available for purchase. To make the day even more magical, families can bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after the show.

More Ways to Experience the Magic

Beyond the park performances, A Faery Hunt offers additional shows at local libraries throughout the year, as well as private birthday party experiences. Whether it's a faery princess, a mischievous troll, a charming gnome, or a daring pirate, these celebrations are filled with storytelling, music, dancing, face painting, and games—creating unforgettable memories.
