Theatre School @ North Coast Rep Presents “The Beauty Sleeping”
The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the wildly silly “The Beauty Sleeping”for its next student production. The British holiday tradition of pantomimes or Christmas “Panto” plays include taking well known stories like fairy tales and spinning them on their heads with emphasis on improvisation, wild costumes, and audience participation!
Join in the laughs with a novel reworking of the classic “Sleeping Beauty” tale that includes a precognitive goblin, a money-obsessed king, a wicked witch, a good witch, and a talking cat.
Performances are Thursday, December 12 through Sunday, December 15 in the Theatre School Studio Space at North Coast Repertory Theatre, located at 985 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.
Director Benjamin Cole is delighted to share the fun of his student cast. “Be prepared to for the characters seeking your advice and including you in the comic conundrums they encounter,” Cole hints. “You’ll experience some very unexpected twists and turns,” he insists.
Assistant director and actor/mentor playing the “dame” Mother Droopy, Steve Smith adds, “If you want to laugh and forget about anything serious, then this is the play for you.” The show runs a magical 75 minutes with no intermission and encourages giggles throughout.
Featured in the cast are Stewart Armstrong, Tirzah Cisneros, Basil FitzGerald, Wyatt Kirby, Maeve McEvoy, Alice Price, Karmila Rodarte, Nicole Sample, Harper Smith, and Steve Smith. Additional production staff includes sound designer, Melanie Chen Cole; stage manager, Paul Smith; and lighting designer, Liam Sullivan.
