The Bay Area Children's Theatre (BACT) is celebrating its move to a new home in the downtown Berkeley arts district with a bang-and a rumble, and lots of swooping around-by remounting its award-winning production of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site-The Musical, featuring  the original cast.

The character formerly known as Sleeping Beauty wakes up in a world where warts are in fashion … and she has them.

The two become fast friends.

Identity Theater presents Sleeping Ugly; written and directed by Nicholas Linnehan.
