Raleigh Little Theatre’s Players to Go Ensemble will present “Rapunzel” this Saturday, March 16, at 2 p.m. at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre, 405 Brooks Street.
Did you ever wonder how Rapunzel ended up in a tower? Get ready to find out and have a lot of fun learning about the characters in this twisted tale of Rapunzel.
Rene Shwartzbuckle, Rapunzel’s mother, loves rampions and can’t stop eating this turnip-like vegetable. She sends her husband, Walter, out to “borrow” some. Walter is caught in the garden by Witch Izwitch stealing rampions. To avoid having a spell cast on him, he agrees to give the witch his first-born daughter, Rapunzel. So, on Rapunzel’s 16th birthday, the witch and the Glumpwarts show up, as promised, to take Rapunzel away.
Adapted by Karen Boettcher-Tate, this funny story contains a strong message about the nature of beauty. For more information, visit https://raleighlittletheatre.org/rlt-players-presents-rapunzel/.
