Grand Theatre • Wausau
Wausau Dance Theatre will present its 5th Annual Storybook Weekend featuring Sleeping Beauty. This charming story is taken from the famous fairy tale about a little princess‚ christening. A wicked fairy interrupts the celebration, enraged at not being invited, she invokes a terrible spell: declaring that when the princess turns 16, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. The youngest fairy intervenes, changing the curse so that princess will not die, but sleep for 100 years until a charming prince comes to awaken her with a kiss. Goodness and true love prevail when at last the prince finds his way through the thick vines surrounding the castle and saves the princess. The town awakens, too and a magnificent celebration commences with many performing for the happy couple.
In conjunction with the performances of “Sleeping Beauty,” WDT will offer the “Enchanted Kingdom” at the Great Hall adjacent to the Grand Theater and a Medieval Fair on the City Square -- May 12 from 10:30am-4:00pm. Join us for fun in the Great Hall, including games, activities, life size chess, castle building and crown/scepter making, crafts, and much more. Special performances by Doug the Joug will take place throughout the day.
Storybook Weekend events are FREE TO THE PUBLIC.
