Join hero Prince Stefan as he sets out to rescue the princess Aurora, and her family’s kingdom, asleep for almost one hundred years. Told from the prince's point of view, this adaptation of the much-loved fairy tale combines beautifully crafted marionettes with the timeless music from Tchaikovsky's ballet.

HELP THE CENTER FUND "SOCKLY"!
The Center for Puppetry Arts receives many requests to appear at events with a puppet. While we currently offer Puppet Factories, giveaways, coupons, and an information table or booth for festivals and events, the Center doesn’t have a puppet that can effectively represent our organization out in the community.But with your help, the center can design and build this puppet!
Your support of the Center’s Power 2 Give project will fund the materials, design, and building of Sockly, the Center’s dynamic new larger-than-life sock puppet for community outreach. When you see Sockly at festivals and events around Atlanta, and the joy and excitement he brings, you can take pride in knowing that YOU helped make this possible.
With Sockly, the Center can more effectively meet the needs of those requesting our presence or involvement in the community, while representing our organization in a more engaging and visual way and bringing the joy of puppetry to people of all ages.
