GULF SHORES, Ala. — South Baldwin Community Theater in Gulf Shores, is proud to present their first Young Artist Series production of the 2014-2015 season with “Rapunzel.”

Rene Schwartzbuckle is cuckoo for a turnip-type 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 (now you know where the name comes from!) Schwartsbuckle’s 16th 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 Llewellyn persevere over the powers of evil?

“Rapunzel” is directed by Jan Hinnen and Assistant Directed by Cailey Mize. Shows dates are Oct. 24 & 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct.  26 (Sunday) at 2:00 p.m.

Ticket prices are Adults $10 and Students $5. Children 2 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased by calling SBCT at 251-968-6721 or online at www.sbct.biz or at the theatre located at 2022 West 2nd Street, Gulf Shores, Al 36542.
