Makeshift Theatre Company, now in its second season, is back with another wacky adaptation designed to entertain the kids and their parents, relatives and adult friends who bring the kids to the show. Believe it or not, this Sleeping Beauty is presented as a sort of Fox News event, with loony anchorman Rick Flick reporting on the mysterious coma that has overcome all the residents of the King's Court. It turns out, of course, that the coma is the work of the evil pixie Patrick of Paxton--or, as Patrick insists, the evil fairy Patrick of Paxton, because pixies, he contends, are way down on the supernatural food chain and he is certainly not one of those. Patrick perpetrated the curse because lovely Princess Briar Rose failed to invite him to the gala ball. Once the curse is set loose, the entire communications network of the Kingdom is unleashed, and the race is on to find the one true Prince who can awaken the Sleeping Princess--and her entire court--with a magical kiss. Of course, Patrick will have none of it--unless he himself can be the Kissing Prince and marry the lovely Briar Rose, something that just...cannot...happen. 

BREAKING NEWS: Briar Rose Castle Coma. Will the prince with the perfect pucker be found to lift the curse before it's too late? Or will the poor princess, her family, and the horses be doomed when the countdown ends? Tune in to find out. Tiffany Stephanie live on the scene!

Makeshift Theatre opened its first season in 2005 under the name TRiBE for CHiLDREN, as a branch of the local improv and artist's community, The Tribe. TRiBE for CHiLDREN premiered with Robin Hood, the first play in the Misdirected Series by Jack Neary, a local playwright, nationally acclaimed and well known for his heartfelt humor and wit. With the highly popular performance of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp in the summer of 2006 at The Regent Theatre in Arlington, TRiBE for CHiLDREN officially became Makeshift Theatre Company and is now happy to be in its second season of tremendously successful Saturday morning children's shows.
