Imagine being asleep for a hundred years. That's how long the princess in Sleeping Beauty has slept before she awakens in her castle. What would it be like to wake up after all that time? Find out in PlayTime Productions' unique modern take on the classic Brothers Grimm tale.

The noted local children's traveling theatre brings Sleeping Beauty to life with a contemporary twist. Just when you think the story is familiar, a new dimension appears. 

Come see what unfolds in PlayTime Productions' adaptation of the story for the children's stage accompanied by an original musical score.

Sleeping Beauty will be performed at the Belleville High School on Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. A donation of $2.00 per person is suggested.
