The Argenta Community Theater will present Cinderella starting on April 19.
The show’s run ends on April 29 and there’s a total of 13 performances with evening shows starting at 7:30 p.m. and matinees at p.m.
Tickets are on sale at ArgentaCommunityTheater.org, and prices start at $25.
There’s also a VIP upgrade with reserved seats in the balcony along with a separate bar. Student shows are booked through the office. They include include and a Q&A with the cast.
Versions of the Cinderella story date back over 1,500 years with different takes on the story over the last 60 years for broadcast television and movies.
The version being performed is one of the older broadcasts. That choice was deliberate.
“The more modern versions are done and frankly, I grew up and was introduced to Julie Andrews as a child watching this version on TV,” said Producing Artistic Director Vincent Insalaco. “I think there are many people who will remember it. It has all of the songs that were originally written like ‘In my Own Little Corner’, ‘A Lovely Night’, ‘The Prince is Giving a Ball’, ‘Ten Minutes Ago’, and ‘Loneliness of Evening’ (written for 1965). Cinderella teaches us all how to behave in a world where kindness is rewarded and selfishness shouldn’t be.”
Playing Cinderella is Kristen Phantazia Smith nd Caleb Allen stars as the Prince.
Other cast members include Katie Eisenhower as Stepmother, Kyra Hatley as Portia, Amelia Miligore as Joy, Emily Swenskie as Godmother, D.C. Miles as King Maximillian, Leslie Heister as Queen and Steven Jones as the Herald. Cinderella is directed by Insalaco, Jamie Stewart is vocal and assistant director, Shelly Hall is costumer, stage manager is Kaye Knight and Sara Cooke is technical director. Our choreographer is Brian Earles and music direction by Julie Cheek.
