The Conejo Youth Theatre is excited to bring Sleeping Beauty by Charles Way to the Conejo
Players stage. Here’s a bolder, funnier version of this favorite fairy tale. Meet one of the more independent, headstrong, in-your-face princesses, Briar Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty). And Gryff, who’s half-dragon and a total smart aleck. There’s Branwen, the really nice witch who tries to outspell the evil Modron. And, of course, Prince Owain, who comes with the standardly princely features, minus bravery, talent and competence. In between the story you know is a deliciously funny and amazing adventure, replete with troublesome fairy folk and a riddle- challenging Spider King.

Starring Carmen Hortiales, Dempsey Fox, Macy Van Gelder, Olivia Aflague, Joel Hortiales,
Robert Waggoner, Evan Trafican, Cassidy Rizzoto, Kona Casey, Belle Krause, Grabriella Wang, Alyssa Wolfkiel, Lyra Eriksen, Alia Ashworth, Kristo Romano, and Alicia Hortiales. Directed by Beth Eslick. Produced by Kristin Krause.

The play runs from May 10, 2024 to May 19, 2024; Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays/Sundays at 1pm, and Saturdays at 4pm. Presented through special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences. The Conejo Players Theatre is located at 351 S. Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks.
