See Cinderella at Ensemble Theatre from December 9 to 30
What do you get when you mix a nearsighted bookworm heroine, two fabulously self‑absorbed stepsisters, a devilishly diva stepmother, and a self‑empowering Well‑Wisher? A delightfully modern spin on the classic fairy tale, proving that being smart is the ultimate kind of beautiful! When the King urges his romantically challenged son to choose a bride from hundreds of “applicants,” a hilarious cross‑country quest unfolds to reunite a missing sneaker—yes, a sneaker!—with its rightful owner. Full of laughs, charm, and heart, Cinderella is perfect for audiences of all ages.
Suitable for general audiences. A playful, family-friendly modern fairy tale filled with humor, charm, and heart, Cinderella features light romantic themes, comedic family dynamics, and a whimsical twist on the classic story that emphasizes self-discovery and confidence. Due to the show’s full-length format, children under 4 cannot be admitted.
