Cinderella’s Shakespeare- February 20, 7:00 p.m.

Jan 23, 2014 | Fine Arts, Middle School News

The Middle School drama program will be performing their winter play, Cinderella’s Shakespeare on February 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.Β Admission is free.
Cinderella (that isn’t her real name!) labors away for her wicked aunt and evil cousins, sneaking free moments whenever she can to read. Her aunt believes learning just monopolizes the time a woman can spend being beautiful and burns all the books in their cottage. Cinderella manages to save a copy of “Romeo and Juliet,” but eventually even that is burned. With a little help from a silly fairy godmother, Cinderella attends a palace ball and impresses the Prince with her intellect. After she flees the ball, the Prince pursues her, looking not for a woman who can fit in a slipper, but one who can complete his Shakespearean quote. He finds her, learns her true name, and they live happily ever after.
