It’s showtime! On Friday night we open the doors for our live production of “Cinderella.” This Rodgers & Hammerstein musical is a perfect production for audiences of all ages. A fun and heartwarming event for the entire family. We’ve readied the set, the lights, the costumes, the lines, blocking, and dancing, and now we are ready for you! Join us Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and be swept away by the most magical of musicals.

“Cinderella” -  If the shoe fits… it’s possible! LCCT’s production of Cinderella is a contemporary take on the classic tale. When she meets a dragon-slaying young prince who is just assuming control of his government, Ella helps to spark transformation and empower the disenfranchised in their kingdom. With the help of her fairy godmother, a pumpkin, and a little magic and humor, Ella, Prince Topher and their generous friends will inspire and delight the whole family. Featuring Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible / It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto. This Tony Award-winning musical, from the creators of South Pacific and The Sound of Music, invites us to build a better, kinder world together.

Directed by John Mulcahy and choreography by Phaelon O’Donnell.
