Get ready to flip the page on fairy tales with Showdown Stage Company's latest production "Never After Happily," debuting on January 26 at The MAIN in Old Town Newhall, a night that promises to bring a whole new meaning to bedtime stories as they conjure up curious twists on classic tales. Tickets for the show, which offers a clever take on what happens when characters age out of their 'happily ever afters,' are now on sale with prices at $22 for the general audience and a discounted rate of $18 for seniors and students, a steal for an evening that's guaranteed to be enchanting for the whole family.
The curtains will rise at 24266 Main Street, where for four nights the company will present an original narrative that questions the traditional wrap-ups of fairy tale endings, an unexpected journey that asks, are the storybook finales we've been fed as kids really as picture-perfect as they seem. According to the Santa Clarita government website, "Never After Happily" follows a writer who's just as curious about what goes on in a world where time doesn't stand still for Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty.
This isn't your average walk in the enchanted forest; instead, audiences will navigate the complexities of life after the final chapter. With a spotlight on older, wiser, and perhaps not-so-merry fairy tale personas, Showdown Stage Company is ready to take its audience down the rabbit hole of reality, where happy endings are more than just a kiss away. It's a bold take for Showdown, one that's sure to spark both laughter and thought long after the curtains close.
Whether you're a fairy tale aficionado or just in for a night of unexpected theatre, make sure to grab your tickets before the last "happily ever after" is uttered, and the chance to witness this innovative production by Showdown Stage Company slips away. Performances are expected to sell out quickly, so don't delay, for an evening of fractured fairy tales awaits at The MAIN, ready to redefine everything you thought you knew about your favorite childhood stories.
