At Princess Briar Rose's christening, wicked Wisteria puts a curse on the newly born baby after realizing she wasn't invited to the party. Three wacky fairies, along with Briar Rose's overprotective parents, quickly shelter the curious and beautiful princess, but even then the spell finds Briar Rose and puts her to sleep for a hundred years. Only a guitar-playing prince can conquer the curse, waking her with true love and a song.

Published Reviews

"A multi-level show with genuine sentiment, good humor and a message kids -- and adults -- can take to heart."

Rick Pender, City Beat (Cincinnati)

"The show is a gem...in the spirit of fractured fairy tales which work both for kids and adults."

Jackie Demaline, Cincinnati Enquirer

"This version of Sleeping Beauty seeks to explore and define 'beauty' in terms other than just physical attractiveness...with great success."

Scott Cain, Talkin' Broadway
