The boisterous British Panto tradition bursts onto the stage with all the fervor and clownish comic silliness you can handle. Ostentatious costumes, magical medieval effects, and spirited songs put a preposterous spin on the classic Cinderella story. Get ready to "hiss" at the wicked stepmother, "howl" at her naughty, haughty daughters, and "ooh" and "coo" as our hopeful heroine undergoes a magical transformation. We're all guaranteed to have a ball! After all, how else will our Cinderella meet her prince? Know Before You Go: This show embodies the outrageous hilarity of Monty Python, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Carol Burnett Show. Four actors play multiple characters, so there could be men playing women (i.e. the wicked stepsisters) and vice versa for comedic effect. It's full of over-the-top, silly antics geared toward young children.
Did You Know? Pantomime has its roots in 'commedia dell'arte', a 16th-century Italian entertainment which used dance, music, tumbling, acrobatics, and featured a cast of mischievous stock characters.
One-Act, approx. 60 min. / For ages 5+
