“Sleeping Beauty: The Time Traveler” at Adventure Theatre — Special Ticket Offer & Giveaway!

Adventure Theatre is putting a fun spin on a classic fairytale!

Sleeping Beauty: The Time Traveler is on stage now at the children’s theatre in Glen Echo Park, running through August 23. And you have a chance to win tickets to see it and attend a pay-what-you-can performance!

First, more about the show…

Rolly’s ordinary summer takes an extraordinary twist when he’s whisked back in time to the Age of Charlemagne! There, he meets Aurora, a bold 12-year-old princess with dreams of knighthood and adventure beyond her castle walls. But her overprotective royal parents have other plans—thanks to a mysterious curse that threatens to plunge her into a century-long sleep. As Rolly and Aurora plot a daring escape to the modern world, secrets are revealed, destinies collide, and the past and present merge in an epic journey filled with courage, friendship, and a dash of magic. Can they outsmart fate and find their happily ever after?

Performances take place Friday through Monday, and all 7pm shows (which occur on Fridays) are pay-what-you-can — that’s right, you name the price. It’s recommended to purchase tickets online in advance. Of course, you can aways try to win them through the giveaway below.
