  • Presentation House Theatre & Mexico’s Marionetas de la Esquina Present Sleeping Beauty Dreams
Presentation House Theatre (PHT) and Mexico’s famed Marionetas de la Esquina present the Canadian premiere of Amaranta Leyva’s whimsical and enchanting puppet show, Sleeping Beauty Dreams, at Presentation House Theatre from January 25 to February 4, 2018. A princess with overprotective parents and a lonely boy whose single mother works all the time are at the heart of this international collaboration. As they embark on a journey of self-discovery, both the princess and boy learn about the power of positive risk-taking.
 
Written by award-winning playwright Amaranta Leyva, Sleeping Beauty Dreams begins with a childless queen who wishes to have a baby more than anything else in the world. A magical frog appears and grants her wish as long as she promises he can be the baby’s godparent. When the queen does not keep her promise, the frog places a life-threatening curse on the princess. To protect their daughter, the king and queen prevent her from ever leaving the castle. As the years pass, the princess grows more curious and yearns to explore the world outside her window. Meanwhile, the queen’s maid has a son who wishes he could join his mother inside the castle where she works day and night. When the princess and the boy finally meet, they bravely face their fears, develop confidence to make their own decisions, and discover they are destined to be together.
 
Sleeping Beauty Dreams showcases Timothy Gosley, one of Canada’s most renowned puppeteers. Gosley, who worked with Jim Henson on Fraggle Rock and whose puppetry has been featured extensively in film and television, is returning to the theatre specifically for the opportunity to work with Lourdes Pérez Gay. The local ensemble cast also includes actor and puppeteer Randi Edmundson; Jessie Award-winning actor and playwright Linda Carson; actor and improviser Brent Hirose; and multi-talented actor, set-designer, and Studio 58 graduate Shizuka Kai.
