Sleeping Beauty (puppet)

I did not know this, but The Center for Puppetry Arts is also putting on a performance of Tchaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty" (normally a ballet.) Here's the info from the website:

"Join hero Prince Stefan as he sets out to rescue the princess Aurora, and her family’s kingdom, asleep for almost one hundred years. Told from the prince's point of view, this adaptation of the much-loved fairy tale combines beautifully crafted marionettes with the timeless music from Tchaikovsky's ballet."

Showtimes and additional info can be found here.

Listen for the waltz Tchaikovsky wrote for the ballet, which was adapted by Disney as "Once Upon a Dream" and used in their movie version of the story.
