The Newington Children's Theatre Company's Winter Performance Class is proud to present the one-act, Rapunzel, March 11 @ 7pm and March 12 @ 10am and 2pm.

Rene Shwartzbuckle is cuckoo for a turnip-like vegetable called rapunzel. When she spots a mouth-watering patch of the plant in Witch Izwitch's garden, she sends her husband Walt out to 'borrow' some. Witch Izwitch is certainly not amused! With her diabolical henchmen, the Glumpwarts, she terrorizes Walt into promising her his firstborn child in exchange for his freedom. We then jump ahead many years to Rapunzel Shwartzbuckle's 18th birthday. The Witch and the Glumpwarts show up as promised and whisk poor, innocent Rapunzel away to a tower in the forest. From here, a boisterously entertaining rescue attempt begins! Can Prince Bobby persevere over the powers of evil? Filled with plenty of action and fresh, hysterical characters this show gives a new twist to an old story and a gentle message about the nature of beauty.

All tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Performances are held at the NCTC Performing Arts Theatre located at 743 North Mountain Road in Newington. For more information, call 860.666.NCTC, or visit www.NCTCArts.org.
