Synopsis In this twist on the beloved fairy tale, the traditional storyteller reading from his all too well-known book of “Sleeping Beauty” is quickly usurped by the story’s feisty and funny villain. With her magical spell, she literally turns back the hands of time to let the audience in on what really happened when the loss of her prized magical pet frog sent her down the path of revenge. This hour-long show includes audience participation and treats the traditionally scary and romantic parts of the story with a healthy dose of humor, making it enjoyable for young audience members and the grownups in their lives.
