Mirth & Mischief at Uhuburg Castle in Helen “It’s like nothing else people have experienced before because it is a little mix of live music, Cirque (style)-dance and there’s puppetry from a well-known puppeteer,” Mirth & Mischief creator Kelly Nelson said. “You’ll get to meet these creatures. There (are) special effects, video mapping, virtual reality and other things to find.”
Mirth & Mischief at Uhuburg Castle in Helen The idea of Mirth & Mischief came to Nelson 10 years ago, but finding an appropriate venue to house the experience; that was much more difficult than finding the talking statues and fairies to fill it.

Mirth & Mischief at Uhuburg Castle in Helen “I think when you come to this show this month, you’re coming to a place (that) already has its own charm, Helen, Georgia, and then (Mirth & Mischief) is just another energy, another jewel on top of being here,” the experience’s choreographer Bubba Carr said. “I think the castle is amazing to see. It’s unexpected. It’s in the middle of the woods on this hill. And then once you come through the doors, you are (transported) into this other (world) that is magical, costumed, fun, interactive, joyful and mystical.”

Mirth & Mischief at Uhuburg Castle in Helen "I would love people to really take away just the magic and wonder that’s still inside (all of us),“ Skelly said. ”I think a lot of our team is just filled with some beautiful creatives that just really want to remind people of like that childlike wonder, of the mystery, of you know the magic that’s inside every single one of us."
