This brilliant play, by Claire Booth Luce, has assumed the status of a modern classic. Aside from the novelty of its involving a large cast of women (no male characters at all) it is an immensely entertaining panorama of our modern metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint.

This highly successful musical is based on the 1984 movie of the same name. It tells the story of a big city kid who moves to a small conservative town where rock music and dancing are frowned upon.

Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanitarium has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims. The vampire if at last found to be a certain Count Dracula. The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater.
Cinderella - Family Musical

at 2:00PM
The timeless enchantment of a magical
fairy tale is reborn with the Rogers and Hammerstein
hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally
presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews,
Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella transports
us to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true. As
adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than
a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults
alike still soar when the slipper fits.
