MEDIA RELEASE__The Missoula Children’s Theatre along with students of Trinity Lutheran School's first-eighth grades present Sleeping Beauty, an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale.

The show will take place in the school gym located at 105 Allen Street in Jenera on Friday, May 8, beginning at 6:30 PM. Doors will open at 6:00  p.m., allowing guests to find seating (first come first serve) and check out the amazing artwork on display in the gym produced by the students of our school. There will be a free-will offering to offset the cost of the production.

A new princess is born, and from far and wide, the people of the kingdom gather to celebrate. One simple mistake is made- an invitation is misplaced- and the wrath of the vicious Scarella falls upon the poor infant in the form of a spell. Sleeping Beauty is now destined to sleep for an eternity if she should prick her finger on a spindle before she reaches her sixteenth birthday. Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Godmothers do their best to amend the spell, but Scarella, with the help of some nasty Trolls, tricks Sleeping Beauty into pricking her finger and the spell takes effect. Five hundred years pass, and Sleeping Beauty wakes to find herself in a Rock ‘n Roll dream! Also featured in this production are the King and Queen, Spot, the Fairies, the Palace Attendants, and the Caterpillars. Sleeping Beauty– a Rock ‘n Roll Fable for the ages. This is definitely no sleeper!

One interesting note about this production and the work of Missoula Children's Theater: the touring group is led by two individuals who work with the students over one short week to audition, cast, learn parts, choreograph the show, establish costuming and the set, and put on the show, all in one short week! Come and check out how it all comes together!
