Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, a magical tale is waiting to unfold on our stage! The time has come for young dreamers to step into the spotlight and become part of a wondrous adventure. We invite all brave and talented children to audition for our enchanting production, Sleeping Beauty, directed by Hannah Singe and Zané Habig, that will be coming to our theatre this JULY 2025.
Sleeping Beauty, is a classic fairytale about a princess who, cursed by an evil fairy, falls into a deep, eternal sleep after pricking her finger on a spindle. The curse can only be broken by a true love's kiss. As time passes, a brave prince ventures into a dark, enchanted castle to awaken her, and together they defeat the forces of evil. The story is filled with magical transformations, vivid characters, and a timeless theme of love conquering all. Ideal for those seeking roles in a magical, adventurous, and emotionally resonant performance.
