RUMPELSTILTSKIN � presented by students in the STAGES Youth Theatre Program

This production depicts how greed and sacrifice lead to the distress of a beautiful maiden who, without a miracle will lose her head.

The STAGES Youth Theatre Program is an after school drama program for youth ages 4 to 16. The STAGES program is in its fourth year and is the brainchild of Program Director Teresa Drew. �The performing arts are so important to a small community.� says Drew �We want to make sure that children have access to the Performing Arts and so many kids want to be a part of drama programs. STAGES is a great way to involve youth in all areas of the performing arts (both on stage and backstage) and to learn the lessons and skills that come with it.�

�Rumpelstiltskin� is a script written by Wendy Karpuik, where children from each class join together to tell a fantastic and entertaining story. This year�s theme �Rumpelstiltskin� is based on the story that originated in Germany. The fairy tale by the same name dates back to 1812 by the authors Jacob and Wilhem Grimm known as �The Brothers Grimm�. Some additions and alterations to the story have been added to accommodate the size of our cast.

Villagers will vie for the bragging rights of their daughter�s accomplishments, driven by greed and a lust for notoriety. You will meet the Knights, the Kings Knights and their leaders, whose intellect will baffle you. The King and Rumpelstiltskin are very different and yet somehow the same; greed is the negativity that possesses them both. The trees will talk and the coins will dance. Yes, talking trees and dancing coins. Get ready for an evening filled with laughter and entertainment.

On Saturday June 15th the doors open at 6:30 and Sunday June 16th, doors will open at 1:30pm. (children 12 and under, accompanied by an adult are free), and seating will be first come first serve. Come out and support the Dramatic Arts and the youth of Port Alberni
