Wausau Dance Theatre will present its 9th 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, 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.
In conjunction with the performances of “Sleeping Beauty,” WDT will offer the “Enchanted Kingdom” at the Great Hall adjacent to the Grand Theater throughout the weekend. Join us for fun in the Great Hall, including games, activities, life size chess, castle building and crown/scepter making, crafts, and much more.
