Sleeping Beauty: The Panto

A Fun-Filled Family Tradition

November 27 – December 22, 2019

By Caroline Smith

Feisty fairies, an enchanted spinning wheel, a malevolent villainess, and a dozy princess!

Join us as the beloved fairy tale comes to life on stage as a fun-filled family panto featuring popular music, lively dancing, outrageous costumes, audience participation, and more!

When a lavish party is thrown to celebrate the birth of a princess, the exclusion of the land’s most powerful sorceress from the festivities unleashes a wrath of fury. The vexed villainess puts a curse on the young royal – on her 17th birthday, the princess will prick her finger on a mystical spinning wheel and fall asleep for hundreds of years. Doomed by fate, can the prince of her dreams stir her from the trappings of a ceaseless slumber?

Just like past panto hits Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, and Snow White, the winning elements of singing, dancing, and laughter in Sleeping Beauty sparkle with spindles of charm and joy. Don’t miss it!
