Tickets Now On Sale for Whidbey Children's Theater's SLEEPING BEAUTY

Tickets are now on sale for the Whidbey Children's Theatre production of Disney's Sleeping Beauty Kids, which opens October 19 and closes October 28.

WCT Artistic Director Rose Woods will also direct this production. "It's no secret that I love fairy tales, and Sleeping Beauty is one that has always sparked my imagination. I thought it would be a perfect choice to 'awaken' our Season of Magic and Enchantment-and I haven't been disappointed."

It's princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday, and Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather must use their fairy magic to save her from the spell of evil sorceress Maleficent! This beloved fairy tale, based upon the classic 1959 Disney animated film, features the familiar characters and songs from the movie.

"I love all the characters," Woods says, "especially the three fairies, and Aurora's animal friends-and Maleficent remains one of the best villains of any story."

Songs including "Once Upon a Dream" are joined by clever new songs like "Maleficent!" and "A Little Magic Now," to add a fresh story element for a new generation of families. "The music, adapted from Tchaikovsky, by George Bruns, is evocative and lush," Woods adds.

As is the Mission and Philosophy of Whidbey Children's Theater, the spotlight truly shines on the kids. "The children, whose ages ranging from 6 to 10, have loved every part of this rehearsal process and are getting into their characters with enthusiasm," Woods says. "My production crew range in age from 12 to 16 and are incredible. I am constantly amazed at how wonderfully talented they all are."
