As noted below, the show begins at 4 p.m. and is being held at the Beach Church Auditorium.  You can buy tickets online here or at the door if they are still available.


First report:  The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre is working to put together a production of Sleeping Beauty and have started a KickStarter campaign to harness the power of the community to give them that last $1500 they need towards the theater rental. 

Producing a youth ballet theater performance of Sleeping Beauty has been a long-time dream of the dance company's artistic director, Liza Mata.  For the past several months, the dancers have rehearsed, sharing their progress in Facebook photos.  The show is scheduled for Sunday, April 22, 2012, at 4 p.m. at the Beach Church Auditorium.

The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre is well-known for their beautiful performances of the holiday classic, The Nutcracker, each December.  The company prides itself on professional quality productions and amazing choreography.
