“The Long-Nosed Dwarf” is a fairy tale about being different, friendship, and the courage to remain true to yourself.

One thoughtless insult. One spell. And a world in which everything suddenly seems different.

After being enchanted, a child finds himself far from the world he knows — and from the people who, until recently, considered him one of their own. Now different in appearance, he discovers how easily looks can become a reason for ridicule, and how a single word can make you feel alone.

But amid the magic and adventures come friendship, kindness, and the courage to be yourself.

“The Long-Nosed Dwarf” is an enchanting puppet fairy tale for children and adults alike — featuring vibrant puppets, music, dancing, humor, and plenty of fairy-tale magic. A story that raises important questions in an accessible and engaging way:

• How do we view those who are different?
• How powerful are our words?
• And what is it that truly makes a person beautiful?

Because sometimes the most important thing about a person cannot be seen with the eyes.
