Rapunzel at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center

Rapunzel at 
Upper Darby Performing Arts Center 
on
November 8
at 7:30pm




Rapunzel, a new twist on the classic Grimm fairy tale, comes to Upper Darby Performing Arts Center. Produced by Philadelphia’s Mazeppa Productions, the performance is on November 8 at 7:30 pm and tickets are $6 - $9.

A witty, tongue-in-cheek retelling of a perennial favorite, Rapunzel was written by the creators of the Emmy Award-winning television series “Friends.” It features a possessive mother who happens to be a witch, a tentative young man who happens to be a prince and a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the longest hair anyone is likely to come across – not to mention a contemporary moral about parent-child relationships.

DETAILS:

WHAT: Rapunzel, a family friendly musical

WHEN: November 8 at 7:30 pm

WHERE: Upper Darby Performing Arts Center, 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue, Drexel Hill, PA 19026

TICKETS: $6-$9. www.udpac.org or 610.622.1189
MORE: Performance is one hour, with no intermission. Appropriate for children 6 years old and up. UD Performing Arts Center is wheel chair accessible and offers free parking.
