👑✨ Meet Aurora: A Princess Who Refuses to Let Fate Decide Her Future ✨👑

We recently sat down with Chelsea Majors, who stars as Aurora in Sleeping Beauty: The Time Traveler, to talk about bringing this courageous and determined heroine to life.

One of the things Chelsea loves most about Aurora is her strength. Unlike the princess audiences may think they know, this Aurora dreams of adventure, questions the limits placed upon her, and actively fights to shape her own destiny. She's brave, curious, independent, and unwilling to let fear define her future.

As Chelsea shared during our interview, Aurora's journey is about finding the courage to step beyond what's expected of you and choosing the life you want for yourself—a message that feels just as relevant today as it would have centuries ago.

We're so excited for audiences to meet this remarkable princess and join her on an unforgettable journey through time, friendship, and self-discovery.

🎨✨ Time travel is taking shape! ✨🎨

This week, our cast and creative team gathered for Design Run of Sleeping Beauty: The Time Traveler—the exciting moment when the world of the show begins to leap from imagination to reality.

Seeing the excitement on our designer's faces as they got a first glimpse into the acting world they'll inhabit during tech week was a reminder of how much creativity, collaboration, and heart goes into every Adventure Theatre MTC production.

We can't wait for our patrons to see this world come alive!

📖✨ A magical first read-through for Sleeping Beauty: The Time Traveler! ✨📖

This week, our cast and creative team gathered for the very first time to begin bringing this exciting adventure through time to life.

The morning was filled with inspiration as our designers shared presentations of their creative visions, giving everyone an early glimpse into the world we're building onstage. Cast members even got a special tour of the set design, sparking imaginations and excitement for the journey ahead.

Then came the moment we've all been waiting for: hearing the script come alive for the very first time. From laughter to heartfelt moments, it was clear that this story of friendship, courage, and choosing your own future is something special.

And we had one very important VIP in attendance- our newest ATMTC regular patron!

A huge thank you to our incredible cast, creative team, and staff. If this first read is any indication, audiences are in for a magical summer adventure.

Last night at the Helen Hayes Awards hosted by Theatre Washington, Adventure Theatre MTC was honored with five Helen Hayes Awards, including the award for Theatre for Young Audiences—a powerful reminder that theatre created for children and families is not “practice for someday,” but meaningful, transformative art happening right now.

Join us in this moment as we create award winning theatre in this moment and as we plan for the future of our next generation. https://www.adventuretheatre-mtc.org/give/sponsor-our-75th-anniversary-season/
