“Rumplestiltskin,” the final production of the StoryBook Theater season, takes to the Everett PUD Auditorium stage May 6 &7.
When a maiden is locked in a tower and told to spin straw into gold, she is helped by a strange little man. But there are (golden) strings attached.
The original songs and shenanigans of “Rumplestiltskin” are designed to engage and enchant very young audiences — ages 3 through 9 — and to entertain the entire family.
The interactive performances are 55 minutes long and performed without intermission. They feature adult professional actors, accompanied by an onstage musician. After the show, the actors remain on stage and answer questions from the children in the audience.
The shows offer children the opportunity to learn appropriate theatre behavior in a situation where they don’t have to be still and quiet for the whole show. There are plenty of opportunities for them to react and respond, and the actors know what to expect and how to keep the show on track.
Adults will enjoy the fractured fairytale style of the productions, which will keep them laughing right along with the kids.
Rumplestiltskin will be performed at the Everett PUD Auditorium at 11 a.m. &1 p.m. Saturday, May 6 and at 1 p.m. &3 p.m. Sunday, May 7 at the Everett PUD Auditorium, located at 2320 California Street in downtown Everett. All tickets cost $8 and can be ordered toll free at 877-827-1100. Tickets will also be available at the theater a half hour before each performance.
StoryBook Theater is a production of Kirkland-based Studio East, Training for the Performing Arts. More information about StoryBook and Studio East is available on the web at www.studio-east.org.
