A pivotal scene where the journey turns inward—characters openly share the pain behind past unloving choices, showing the strength, humility, and compassion it takes to face emotions without judgement. In doing so, they invite the audience into the conversation, getting suggestions and creating a shared space for honesty, courage, and connection.

A New Era of Alpha: Sleeping Beauty Rewritten from the Ground Up
This is not the story you think you know. Our completely reimagined Sleeping Beauty features a brand-new script, 8 original songs, and a powerful emotional journey designed for students of all ages—not just the little ones.
Rose standing up for herself
A powerful princess
This isn’t about a passive princess or a magical kiss. It’s about facing fear, resisting manipulation, and finding your voice when the world tells you your choices are limited.
It’s one of our most powerful transformations yet—students from prep to year 9 will connect deeply, laugh wildly, and walk away changed.
Aurora becomes the hero. Jon, the conflicted bounty hunter, must choose between love and loyalty. The King guides us all through the emotional process of self-worth. The Fairy lovingly guides Aurora to become who she really is.
Add in side-splitting comedy, fast-paced scenes, Alpha’s signature full-scale lighting, sound, and costumes—and you’ve got the most evolved Alpha Show we’ve ever created. And remember - this is all set up in YOUR school hall or venue!
Themes:
SEL focus: fear, courage, peer pressure, self-worth, resilience
Updated for today: no stereotypes, no clichés—just powerful role models and complex emotional journeys
Curriculum-aligned with full support materials
Jon and Rose meet and create a connection based on shared beliefs, philosophy and passion

It’s also a hilarious, fun, and comedic adventure as we explore the concept of ‘choice’ and the emotional impact on everyone. Students will learn how to step through fear and always make loving choices, whether that’s kindness, truth, or being a hero in their every day lives.
