A classic comes to the stage when Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s Pyramid Players present a one-hour musical version of “Sleeping Beauty” this fall. Based on the favorite childhood fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this final production in the 2014 Live Theatre for Kids series is now on stage through Nov. 15 for kids of all ages.
Infuriated to not have received an invitation to the Royal Christening, the evil fairy Trollarina, played by Jill Kelly, exacts her revenge on the royal family and her sister fairies by casting a spell on Princess Melisande, played by Mariana Weisler. Sixteen years later, the princess is sent into a decade long sleep after pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. Little does Trollarina realize, more than one spell is about to be broken thanks to the kiss of an enchanted Faun, played by Jordan Moody.
Josh Levinson plays the King, Carrie S. Neal is the Queen, Sam McKanney plays the Royal Herald, and rounding out the cast are Mary-Elizabeth Milton as Minerva, Nicole Bridgens as Sybil, and Jennifer Ladner as Phoebe. The show is directed by Jeff Stockberger and choreographed by Jennifer Ladner, with Kristy Templet as the musical director.
All tickets are $15.50 and include a snack. For show times, visit beefandboards.com.
