Phamaly Theatre Company Presents RAPUNZEL at Lakewood Cultural Center Today

Lakewood Cultural Center presents Phamaly Theatre Company's fun, fanciful hourlong musical production of "Rapunzel" at 11 a.m. today, April 4 at Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway (Wadsworth and Alameda). With book and lyrics by two creators of the hit television show "Friends," rest assured this fairy tale isn't going to be business as usual!

"Rapunzel" is a witty, tongue-in-cheek musical retelling of a perennial favorite that gives us a possessive mother who happens to be a witch, a tentative young man who happens to be a prince and a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the longest hair you're ever likely to come across. Designed with an appeal to young and adult audiences alike, the play has a contemporary moral about parent-child relationships, the struggles of growing up, the joys of love and the challenges of being different.

Now celebrating its 25th season, Phamaly is an award-winning Colorado based theater company consisting entirely of performers with a wide variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. Phamaly's mission is to inspire people to re-envision disability through professional theater.

The 2014-2015 Lakewood Cultural Center Presents! season is generously supported by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), with appreciation to the citizens of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, 5280 Magazine, Colorado Creative Industries, and Denver Post Community, improving and enriching the lives of those in our community.
