Carabosse, the wicked witch, sentences the young Princess Aurora to death by spinning wheel, but the good fairies (the slim Fairy Liquid and the plump Fairy Cakes) commute this to a long boring sleep - a sleep from which the Princess can only be woken by a kiss from her true love. Featuring a loveable cast of characters, including a madcap nanny, wacky fairies, seriously challenged henchmen, and of course, Princess Aurora herself, Barry’s adaptation of this classic tale will delight the entire family! Join the Department of Theatre and area students for a marvelous time!
