Come and Enjoy our Youth Theater Camp performance TONIGHT, Nov 25, at 6:30 pm at the Marit Elliott Performing Arts Center!
These students in grades 3-6 have been working so hard learning lines and learning about theatre and are excited to perform for you tonight!
What is the show about?
We've all heard the classic fairy tales (Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, etc.) and think we know them inside and out. These stories have always been told from one point of view, so what is really happening in these tales beyond the words on the page? What if Cinderella actually LIKED cleaning? Why did the king and queen WANT a whiny princess who complains about her mattress? The Headache From Happily Ever After reveals the truth behind our favorite princesses, magical creatures, and heroes of many kinds.
