It's time for the Princess Aurora's christening and the fairies of the Kingdom of Toronto have been invited to the celebration. Or have they? Seems Fairy Scary's invite was lost in the mail - and is she ever bent out of shape! To show her displeasure, she vows that the Princess will only live to her 16th birthday, when she will prick her finger and "buy the farm". The other fairies might have something to say about this...will they come up with a plan to save the princess? You'll have to see Sleeping Beauty to find out!

Sleeping Beauty has been adapted from the original fairy tale by Kim Sprenger. Directed by Benjamin Blais, it features the talents of Gabriel Hamilton in a dual role as The King/Prince Justin, Stephanie Russell as The Queen/Granddaughter, Stephen Flett as Lord Chamberlain/Woodcutter, Michelle Baynton as Fairy Merry, Madeleine Brown as Fairy Sherry/Princess Aurora and Brandon Knox as the Fairy Scary.
