The Growing Stage: The Children's Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey will present a holiday production of ELLA ENCHANTED.  Written by Karen Zacarias with music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, ELLA ENCHANTED is adapted from the book by Gail Carson Levine.

ELLA ENCHANTED introduces us to Ella of Frell, who is given the “gift” of obedience by Lucinda, her misguided Fairy Godmother, and is forced to do anything people command her. On her adventure to rid herself of the curse, she must outwit ogres, sidestep giants, befriend a prince, survive her step-family, and ultimately find the power to be her true self.
