Alberta Opera Brings Their New Adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin
to Spruce Grove on November 15
Things
are not always what they seem in this thrilling new musical adventure! The
Miller family lives an ideal life complete with a beautiful house, a white
picket fence, and an adorable baby. But when an impossible situation threatens
to change their lives forever, a mysterious figure emerges with an opportunity
to turn their fortunes around. Is this mystery man the solution to their
problem, or will he just make everything worse? Straight off a successful run
at Fringe Theatre Adventures, don’t miss Alberta
Opera Touring Association’s Rumpelstiltskin, at Horizon Stage on
Saturday, November 15 at 2 p.m.
When
Mr. Miller loses his job Mr. King from the bank of Listl & Prustemink
threatens to take away everything that the Millers hold dear, including their
newborn son. But the mystifying Skip Goldman and his “Spin to Win” game show
offer the family fabulous prizes and, most importantly, hope. All they have to
do is relinquish items that they value in order to be allowed to play. Will the
odds work in their favour? Will they win enough money to make their problems
disappear or will they lose it all? Are those actual dancing cereal boxes? Who
IS Skip Goldman and what is his real name?
Written
by Alberta Opera’s Artistic Directors, Farren Timoteo and Jeff Unger, this fun,
flashy, musical adaptation of The Brothers Grimm’s 1812 fairy tale is full of
catchy radio jingles and television commercials. As the second show in
Horizon Stage’s 2014/2015 Family Matinee Series it promises to be a
one-of-a-kind theatrical experience for audience members of all ages. Come
early for free preshow crafts and activities in the theatre lobby starting at 1
p.m.
