SummerStage is proud to announce its one and only show this summer: the classic musical Cinderella from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, which will be presented LIVE onstage by members of our community. Cinderella follows the classic fairy tale story about a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds true love with the kingdom's prince.
