Step inside a fairy tale—then decide its fate.
About this Event
The Enchanted Jury Experience is a small-group, fully interactive storytelling workshop where participants become the jury in a live fairy tale trial. Families, teens, adults, and grandparents work together to hear testimony, debate big questions, and render a verdict.
This is not a reading.
This is not a play you watch.
This is a story you enter.
Over the course of 90 minutes, participants will:
• Step into roles (jurors, witnesses, advocates)
• Explore a classic fairy tale through a modern lens
• Debate real moral dilemmas
• Vote on the outcome
• Discover how stories shape values, choices, and identity
Designed for ages 8 to 80, this experience brings generations together around timeless questions:
What is freedom?
What is justice?
Who decides what is right?
Hosted at Secret World Books, this special event is led by the creator of The Fairy Tale Trials, a nationally recognized interactive theater series—returning to her hometown of Highland Park to share this one-of-a-kind storytelling experience.
Perfect for:
• Families
• Homeschool groups
• Book lovers
• Educators
• Story enthusiasts
• Anyone who loves to think, imagine, and debate
Registration Limited to small groups for deep engagement
No acting experience required
Every session is unique
You don’t just hear the story.
You decide it.
