Spartanburg Youth! Theatre announces its final production of the 2010-2011 season, “Sleeping Beauty” on April 15 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and April 16 at 2 p.m.

Here comes a bolder, funnier version of one of your favorite tales. This play features one of the more independent, headstrong, in-your-face princesses, Briar Rose, along with Branwen, the really nice witch who tries to out-spell the evil Modron and Prince Quain, who comes with the standard princely features, minus bravery, talents, and competence.

This year, the Spartanburg Youth Theatre will be doing a special event.

“Join Sleeping Beauty and her friends for a character lunch before the show April 16 from 12 – 1:30 p.m.” said Sterling Kenny, Spartanburg Youth Theatre’s interim director.

This play is the last show for this production season for the Spartanburg Youth! Theatre. The 2011-2012 season will be announced during the curtain speech.

Performance dates are April 15 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and April 16 at 2 p.m. All performances take place at the David W. Reid Theatre in the Chapman Cultural Center. Tickets can be purchased by calling 542-2787. Call the Youth! Theatre office at 585-8278 for more information.
