Sleeping Beauty
May 1, 2010 at 1:30 and 7:00pm
Grand Theater, Wausau
Wausau Dance Theatre will present its 9th Annual Storybook Weekend featuring Sleeping Beauty. This charming story is taken from the famous fairy tale about a little princess‚ christening. A wicked fairy interrupts the celebration, declaring that when the princess turns 16, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. The youngest fairy intervenes, changing the curse so that princess will not die, but sleep for 100 years until a charming prince comes to awaken her with a kiss. Goodness and true love prevail when at last the prince finds his way through the thick vines surrounding the castle and saves the princess.
Tickets: $18.00 Adults and $16.00 Students/Seniors

Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum
In conjunction with Elliott Erwitt: Dog Dogs and to complement Wausau Dance Theatre's spring performance of "Sleeping Beauty," the Museum presents the dog imagery of photographer Butch McCartney.
Canine Beauties: Sleeping or Otherwise illuminates the human-like emotions and fetching poses displayed by man's best friend. Since leaving his position as a Wausau Daily Herald photographer and establishing his Woodbury, Minnesota, studio, McCarntey has made a name for himself in the canine world through work at the regional dog shows and dog portrait commissions. On May 11, McCartney embarks on a four-day artist residency working with therapy dogs to demonstrate his techniques. Come, sit, stay-and enjoy a range of programs that will leave you saying, "The Woodson Art Museum is going to the dogs!"
