It finally happened, theatre fans: the snow has arrived. We know, we know…you’re depressed, right? Thoughts of backaches, buried cars and perpetually wet clothing are dancing in your head.
Let’s all take a deep breath.
…
Better?
No?
Not even a little bit?
Well, maybe we can help improve your mood by reminding you that the most AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, VISUALLY SPECTACULAR show of the holiday season is opening at STC this Saturday night!
That’s right: Charles Way’s Sleeping Beauty will be playing at STC (weekends only!) until the 20th of December. We absolutely guarantee that this show will blow you away and make you forget all about your winter woes.
Whoa, whoa whoa! Wait a second, you’re all saying. I know all about Sleeping Beauty: evil witch casts a spell; princess gets pricked by a spindle; sleeps until a prince kisses her; blah, blah, blah…
How’s that old story supposed to get me excited?
Well, our frigid friends, this isn’t the same old story you’ve heard a million times before. We’ve kept the core of the classic story and ditched the rest. We’re talking about new and interesting characters, amazing effects, fearsome creatures and adrenaline pumping sword fights! (We’ve even brought in a fight choreographer from Toronto, for goodness sake!) This show is the very definition of a holiday spectacle, and you know that the initials STC are synonymous with high quality entertainment.
Incredible hand-made costumes? Check. Breathtaking sets? Check. Exciting action sequences? Check! Boring rehash of an old story? Not a chance!
And did we mention that there’s a special FAMILY RATE available! What could be better?
Oh, and one more thing: in case you haven’t heard,we’re making life easy for you this stressful holiday season by offering you the opportunity to give the gift of live, professional theatre! STC gift cards are available for purchase at this very moment, and they can be used toward a variety of STC products and services such as:
Please, please, pleeeeeeaaase don’t fall into that same old gift-giving routine that has yielded so many forced smiles and uncomfortable silences on Christmas mornings past (just how many ties can your dad have, right?).
An STC gift card is a truly unique idea that gives your loved one the freedom to explore the performing arts at their convenience. Whether you’re giving a theatre fan the chance to continue to enjoy what the STC has to offer, or introducing a newcomer to the joys of the stage, the STC gift card truly is a can’t-miss Christmas gift.
Until next time, stay strong!
