Published Reviews

"A lot of creative twists and turns... Sleeping Beauty is a keeper for the younger crowd, a nice romp through fairy-tale land that offers plenty of fun without all the sugar that most similar productions throw in."

Matt Reville, Sun Gazette (Virginia)

"The children remained entranced by the production, shouting out special magic words to help the fairies and even booing at the evil Griselda."

Angela E. Pometto, Arlington Catholic Herald
