Big Noise Theatre Presents SLEEPING BEAUTY 10/3-18
Big Noise Theatre promises another hour of fun, suspense, adventure and giggles as it presents its second area Especially for Kids production of Sleeping Beauty, directed by professional director/choreographer Stacey Flaster (Evanston).
The musical treat, for children ages 3-10, opens Oct. 3 and runs through Oct. 18 at Prairie Lakes Theatre, 515 E. Thacker Rd., Des Plaines. Sleeping Beauty is a delightful, funny and exciting musical that takes place in the Kingdom of Colorland. Join Princess Amber, a rough and tumble tomboy; Prince Hunter, a Prince Charming with thick glasses and a host of allergies; and the villain Magenta, who has been exiled from the kingdom for all the wrong reasons, as they embark on a journey that both entertains and educates. Complete with a dragon, three colorful fairies, a wise owl, and plenty of chances for the young audience to join in the excitement, Sleeping Beauty is a touching story about the great, enduring Power of Love.
To help the young audience enjoy the memorable experience, children get to meet and talk to the actors after the one-hour show. "The kids ask wonderful questions and really seem to ‘get' this show," Flaster says. "It's really my favorite of Marc Robin's children's shows. I love the music, the characters and the story. It really touches the audience, and me, too."
The all-adult cast of Sleeping Beauty stars Marian Kaderbek (Chicago), Summar Jonas (Chicago), Joe Schmitt (Glenview), Jessica Vann (Chicago), Grace Acker (Chicago), Lane Wheeler (Wheeling), Becky Mocarski (Chicago), Jonathan Lynch (Chicago) and Julia Macholl (Morton Grove).
