Casting Kids for "Briar Rose: The Tale of Sleeping Beauty"
Kids in grades 5-9 are welcome to audition for "Briar Rose: The Tale of Sleeping Beauty". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This clever and charming adaptation of the classic fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is a wild, comic romp. Despite warnings from her hysterical, hyper mother, Briar Rose touches the thorns of some roses given to her by that devious thirteenth fairy. Consequently, she and the rest of the royal family fall asleep for 100 years under the evil fairy’s curse. A hilarious parade of doomed princes fail again and again in the hissing, growling briar bushes that protect the palace where the royal family sleeps. All these royal efforts are futile until a prince shows up with his side-splittingly funny bodyguard, the two-headed troll.
