Winter Festival 2012: Twists on Old Tales!
Throughout the winter, students participate in workshops and rehearsals designed to develop important skills like teamwork and self-confidence, and conclude in public performances on our Mainstage. The shows this year (Once Upon a Mattress, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Into the Woods) all have fairytales at the root of their stories.

Everyone can't wait for the newest royal wedding; the aggravating Queen Aggravain has declared no one may marry before her son, the very daunted Prince Dauntless. Enter the most unlikely princess: Winnifred, a girl from the swamps who is anything but "Shy;" it's the role that made Carol Burnett famous! Everyone from 8 to 80 will delight in this rollicking retelling of The Princess and the Pea.

This "Tale as Old as Time" follows the classic story of a young woman, Belle, who dreams for something outside of her small town life. But when an unfortunate encounter whisks her away to the castle of a grizzled Beast, she is forced to turn her energy towards the characters who surround her, and see their true beauty within. This Broadway hit features all the beloved songs from the animated film; what a great chance for the entire family to sing-a-long!

Stephen Sondheim weaves together beloved fairy tales- Little Red Ridinghood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella- with his own original story of a childless Baker and his Wife, to explore the darker side of a happy ending. But after all the grannies have been saved and maidens have been married and wishes have been granted, it is what we do with our "Ever After" that is the true judge of our character. Perfect for anyone who prefers their "Once Upon a Time" with a little edge!
