The glass slipper fits in Portsmouth this summer
Prescott Park Arts Festival opens its 2026 mainstage season with Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, presented by Service Credit Union, running June 19 through August 9 on the stunning waterfront Wilcox Main Stage in Portsmouth, NH. This enchanting production invites audiences of all ages to believe in the transformative power of kindness and to build a better, kinder world together.
Funnier, bolder, and more romantic than ever, this contemporary retelling features Rodgers + Hammerstein's most beloved songs alongside a sparkling script by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane. Glass slippers, a pumpkin carriage, and a romance for the ages, all under the stars and for an optional recommended donation.
