Mercer County Community College Present CINDERELLA, 7/30-8/8

A whimsical take on a time-honored fairytale comes to Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre when Stars in the Park presents the Prince Street Players' comic musical version of CINDERELLA. Dates and show times are Fridays, July 30 and August 6 at 7 p.m.; Saturdays, July 31 and August 7 at 7 p.m.; and Sundays, August 1 and 8 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on July 30.

In an adaptation filled with originality and charm, dreams really do come true as Cinderella heads off to the ball and into the arms of a handsome prince – with a little help from her zany Fairy Godmother, of course! This rags-to-happiness tale includes interactive moments with the audience including a sing-along to the "Sneeze Polka," an invitation to perform a courtly dance during intermission, and a chance to try on the lovely glass slipper.
