Young Players will present Sleeping Beauty Kids, directed by Tanner Oglesby. It will run for one weekend only – May 3rd-5th at the Royal Theatre in historic downtown Benton, 111 S. Market Street. This production is sponsored by Advanced Alarm Technologies and is licensed by Music Theater International.
It’s Princess Aurora’s sixteenth birthday, and three fairies – Flora, Fauna and Merryweather – must use their magic to save her from the spell of the evil sorceress, Maleficent! The fairies ensure that Aurora only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip. To prevent Phillip from rescuing Aurora, Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the last hope to free Phillip so that he can awaken Aurora. Based on one of the most treasured Disney animated films of all time, and featuring some of the world’s most memorable songs, Disney’s Sleeping Beauty KIDS is pure, delightful fun.
Show dates and times are Friday and Saturday, May 3-4, 2019 at 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, May 4-5, 2019 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.theroyalplayers.
