This classic fairy tale contains all the characters one would expect in such a show.
A wicked witch with her two hobgoblins, a kindly (if somewhat ditzy) good fairy, a bossy, keen to dance, queen and her bumbling king, some scheming princes, the handsome, but poor, Prince Braveheart, and of course the beautiful Princess Beauty, along with a variety of palace staff and fairies.
The storyline follows the attempted courting of the Princess by the Princes. The wicked curse placed upon the Princess by the witch, saving of the Princess and subsequent saving of the Prince from further evil plans of the witch.
The directors, Nell Pernitsch and Jayne Keegan have added a distinctly 50s and 60s flavor to the production with the choice of great songs and fashions from that era.
Choreographer Tenneille Cassanova has designed and created some very exciting and fun dance routines, which include jazz, tap and ballet.
Our technical wizard Liz Sherlock is preparing a visual feast of lighting magic to wow audiences.
The theatre is pleased to introduce a number of new members in this play with the cast ranging in age from eight to… well very grown up.
There will also be some familiar faces to audience members who have seen plays at the theatre in recent years.
This will be the theatre’s final production for 2016 and we will look forward to bringing you some more entertainment in our beautifully renovated venue next year.
This show is suitable for all ages and is a wonderful way to introduce young people to the magic of theatre.
Performances are on October 28 and 29, November 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 7pm with a 1pm matinee on November 5 and 12.
