CINDRELLA to Open This Week at The Old Log Theatre

The Old Log Theatre presents Excelsior Entertainments production of CINDERELLA, new adaptation of the classic fable, running November 17th through December 31st, 2015.

Adapted and written for the Old Log Theatre stage by Robert J. Knutson, directed by Artistic Director R. Kent Knutson, Scenic & Lighting Designer Erik Paulson, Costume Designer Sara Wilcox and Sound Designer Jeff Geisler.

This classic fable has the lonely girl covered in soot and ashes speaking with mice and birds, her only friends. It has two stepsisters with cruel hears and a cold stepmother who sweeps in and marries Cinderella's father after the sudden death of his wife. At first mistaken for a wandering beggar woman, the fairy godmother then shows her true self as a benevolent spirit. Using her magic she gets Cinderella to the glorious ball where she meets the all too handsome Prince. Cinderella shows him that the truth in beauty is not what we see with our eyes only, but with our hearts.
