Backyard KidsTheatre announces their production of the classic “Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.” 

“Cinderella” is entirely creatively directed and performed by students, largely middle-school aged.  Although the directors, musicians, cast, crew, costume advisor, choreographers, etc. are all youth aged 7-17, audiences will be amazed at the talent.  Directed by 8th grader Chase Thomaston, music directed by Stephanie Earle, and starring Paige McCauley as Cinderella,

The performance will be held June 13 at 7 p.m., and June 14 at 3 p.m. at Heritage Christian Church in Fayetteville.  Tickets can be purchased for $8 from www.brownpapertickets.com/event/64423 (for early seating) or at the door.  

Other leads include:  Camille Edwards as the Fairy Godmother; Ben Papac as the Prince; Micole Mayfield as the Stepmother; Hannah and Abby Feltner as the Stepsisters, Austin and Janina Monk as the Royal Stewards, Michael Reep as the King, and Stephanie Earle as the Queen.  The ensemble features: Olivia, Grant, and Evan Krug; Jordyn, Jamie, and Zack Richards; Abby Mortensen; Anna Lee Robbins; Gillian Revoir; Reagan and Avery Grillo; Preston Earle; Payton Edwards; and Rachel Brown.
