NEWS RELEASE
TWIN LAKES SECONDARY SCHOOL
************************
HEAR YE! HEAR YE! By Royal Proclamation, everyone in the Kingdom is invited to join the talented students of Twin Lakes Secondary School for a joyful and heartwarming production of the musical CINDERELLA!
This updated version of the classic tale presents a fresh take on the story of Ella, a savvy young woman who longs to escape the drudgery of her everyday life, and Prince Topher, an heir to the throne who dreams of modernizing his kingdom. CINDERELLA combines the story’s classic elements–the glass slipper, a magic pumpkin, a beautiful ball– along with some new characters and surprising twists. In this engaging and entertaining tale, audiences will cheer on the spirited and determined Ella who shares her compassion and kindness with those around her and inspires them to make the world a better place. Accompanying this story is a beautiful musical score by celebrated Broadway composer and lyricist duo Rodgers and Hammerstein.
CINDERELLA has been in rehearsal since November and features over 50 students from grade 9 to 12 in roles on stage and behind the scenes. The cast features both students making their stage debut and experienced performers, and you will recognize many of the talented actors from last year’s outstanding TLSS productions of Murder on the Orient Express. This production also features a live band composed of talented student musicians. This production truly has something for everyone and will be enjoyed by audience members of all ages.
Mounting a production like this involves a dedicated team of students and staff. A large staff committee works collaboratively on the production and students are involved in all aspects of the production including sound and lighting operation, set construction, hair and make-up design, photography and much more.
CINDERELLA will be presented on April 9, 10 and 11th at 7pm in the TLSS Cafetorium. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased at the door or in advance by calling the TLSS office (705) 325-1318.
