Press Release
Mark May 5th and 6th on your calendars.
On these dates THE ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS will celebrate its 11th annual children’s theatre performance with the production of “SLEEPING BEAUTY”, directed and produced by Luanna Luxton Armstrong.
Be prepared to be transported to the fourteenth century, and the world of beautiful Princess Aurora Rose, brought to life by the dancers and actors of the Academy, both children and adult, and the professional technical staff of Kewadin’s Dream Makers Theatre.
Aurora, the innocent and beautiful Princess is played by Hailey Weston (Scuttlebutt, the seagull, in “The Little Mermaid”) Trask Reinhart plays Aurora’s dream Prince, Philip. Seasoned actor Peter Decourcy, Salt Peter of “Madrigal” fame, brings pomp and humor to the character of King Hubert, Prince Philip’s father. King Stephen is portrayed royally by Dr. Dave Drockton (Puff the Magic Dragon) and his beautiful and regal Queen Isabel is elegantly portrayed by Nancy Sawruk, “Madrigal” producer. The three good fairies are delightfully brought to life by Hon. Elizabeth Church (Fauna), Michelle Reinhart (Flora) and Ginger Stratton (Merriweather). No fairy tale would be complete without a villain and Tina Kitzmiller as Malificent, the evil fairy gives a spellbinding performance.
As it has long done for children of all ages, “SLEEPING BEAUTY” reminds us of the timeless truth: that love and good wins over evil. We who are a part of “SLEEPING BEAUTY” hope that you remember that truth long after the charm of the production fades.
The Academy is proud to acknowledge the enthusiasm and support of the whole community, and many contributors not only to this presentation but to those of the past eleven years.
