DISENCHANTED @ The Illusion Theater

The original fairytale princesses are none too happy with the exploitation they’ve suffered in today’s films, books and merchandise. Snow White and her angry band of storybook friends are “storming the castle” in order to take their lives back! Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Hua Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas and The Princess Who Kissed the Frog unite at Minneapolis’ Illusion Theater October 30- November 23, 2014.

Cast Features: Bonni Allen (Cinderella), Jen Burleigh-Bentz (Snow White), Joy Dolo (The Princess Who Kissed the Frog), Vanessa Gamble (Belle, Rapunzel, The Little Mermaid) and Stephanie Bertumen (Hua Mulan, Pocahontas & Princess Badroulbador [Jasmine]).

Casting Spells Productions first brought this hilarious princess comedy to Minneapolis in Fall 2013 and most recently sold out a week of performances this summer at Theatre L’Homme Dieu in Alexandria, Minnesota. Minneapolis audiences have a rare treat to see the show before audiences in NYC do!

Watch for the OFF-BROADWAY premiere of DISENCHANTED! later this year!

Mark Bergren, well known in the Twin Cites as former artistic director of Dudley Riggs’ Brave New Workshop, and in Orlando as a show director and writer for Walt Disney Entertainment directs DISENCHANTED! He joins James Detmar, local actor, director and writer (providing Musical Staging) and Michael Shann, former Disney executive and producer of the Closing Ceremonies of the XXII Winter Olympic Games, to make up Casting Spells Productions LLC.

Raymond Berg, 2007 and 2013 Ivey Awards winner for Music Direction, and Lori Dokken are music directors.

Casting Spells Productions, a Twin Cities-based professional theater company, is committed to presenting remarkable stories and creating vibrant theatrical experiences by engaging the finest professional artists, both on stage and off.
