Christmas Shows

Cinderella

Audiences follow the classic story of Cinderella as she endures her wicked stepsisters and attempts to reach the Royal Ball with the help of Buttons and the Fairy Godmother. The production brings the festive tale to life with brand-new music, an original script, and traditional comedy. Visitors can participate directly by cheering, booing, and hissing throughout the show.
