The Golden Age of Hollywood comes to life in this over the top version of the classic tale. Set on a movie set in the 1930s, everything that can go wrong does!  Sleeping Beauty continues the Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre (PFCT) tradition of retelling the classics – with a musical twist.

Up to 74 local young people are needed to play the roles of Rose, Mallory, Colin, Eugene, Becki, Gwen, Julia, Anna, and the rest of the Movie Stars; The Director, Assistant Director, Producer, Cameraman, Assistant Cameraman, Make-Up Girl, Soundman, Dance Coach, Sheep Wrangler, Coffee Girl, Chauncy, Chancy, Chintzy, The Reporter, The Henchmen, and The Sheep. Two professional actors/directors from Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre’s Staff will direct the production and play the roles of the bumbling Hypnotist, and The Queen Diva of all Stage Mothers.
