Do you need a new annual holiday tradition? Look no further than Presidio Theatre's pantomime production of"Sleeping Beauty".
Pantomime was developed in England as a type of musical comedy designed for family entertainment. It is typically performed throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, and other-English speaking countries to a lesser degree, especially during the Christmas and New Year season. Modern pantomime productions utilize gender-crossing actors and combine topical humor with well-known fairy tales, fables or folk tales. Audiences are encouraged and expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.
Audiences can join in the Panto traditions of booing villains, cheering heroes, singing along to pop and classic rock songs and helping the fairies cast magic spells.
