The Athabasca Figure Skating Club will perform “Hijacked Fairytales” at the Athabasca Regional Multiplex on March 9.
The show begins at 1 p.m., and more than 80 skaters will grace the ice as fairytale characters.
According to coach Tamara Jackson, the show follows a boy named Jack as he travels from fairytale from fairytale.
“We have taken a musical theatre number and instead of singing, we will be performing skating routines,” she said.
“We will have skaters acting as the narrator in between skating skits.”
Admission to the show is free; however, a donation is encouraged.
Jackson stated the show has a modern twist.
“Jack’s a bit of a lad, and he’s eager to seize a chance to get his own social worker, just like his friends have,” she said, reading from the program. “The trouble is, Geraldine is actually a secret Fairy Godmother, and Jack finds himself in fairytale land helping folks there to earn his way back home again.”
