RAPUNZEL Begins 7/21 at Barter Theatre's Stage II

By:

The Barter Players are set to perform the classic fairytale "Rapunzel" at Barter Theatre's Stage II beginning July 21.

Long ago in a world of kings, queens, magic and witches, Rapunzel was locked away in a hidden tower by a bitter and greedy witch. Deep in the darkest forest, Rapunzel waits in her tower for her life to change. Will she find love? Will she be rescued? Or, can Rapunzel rescue herself? This classic tale of good versus evil comes to life on Barter's Stage II with some spunky little twists and an empowering message for any little girl.

John Hardy, the director of "Rapunzel," invites audiences to discover, "What kind of a world is it where people are named Rapunzel? It makes one think of a world in which things happen that don't happen in the world we live in now. And what might those things be?"

Children of all ages will be delighted by this performance by The Barter Players, Barter Theatre's performance group for children.

This Barter Players production is made possible by show sponsor, Berry Home Centers; season sponsor Alpha Natural Resources and season media sponsors Blue Ridge PBS and WKPT-TV ABC 19. For more information call the box office at 276-628-3991 or visit bartertheatre.com.
