Ross Valley Players to Present 'Sabrina Fair' Starting 10/31

The Ross Valley Players presents  Sabrina Fair by Samuel Taylor to be directed by Michael Paul Pulizzano.

A modern version of "Cinderella" set in the 1950s, this sophisticated romantic comedy follows the chauffeur's daughter, Sabrina Fairchild, who returns from Paris to live with her father at the beautiful Long Island estate of the wealthy Larrabee family.
