The Media Theatre is going to be humorously happy this spring with “Sleeping Beauty” on stage for children ages 4 and up. The somewhat ‘fractured fairy tale’ version of the classic tale is heavy on comedy but also has plenty of heart. It plays Saturdays at 11am and Sundays at Noon March 12 through May 22.
Written by R. Eugene Jackson and Patsy Pollard, the show is one hour in length and features songs such as “Love Is”, “Merricore”, and “Spinning”.
Based on the tale of the young lady who pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and falls into a deep sleep until loves kiss comes along, this “Sleeping Beauty” promises to be fun for all. With roles such as a silly Prince, Tipsy the Gypsy, a Court Jester and a Magician who turns himself into a frog, it’s a fast-paced play with music.
The cast is made up of students from The Media Theatre’s New School and acting classes. Two adults join the fun: Roger Ricker as the Jester and Henry O’ Neill as the Royal Magician.
Most of the roles are double cast. Actors will alternate performances during the show’s run.
