In this version of the classic tale, poor Cindy is relegated to the role of go-fer for her fame-obsessed step-mother and step-sisters in their reality show. Her beloved father has disappeared and she hasn't been invited to the prince's live broadcast of his dance-off to determine his bride. But perhaps there is a way...

Benny Hill meets Walt Disney in the classic tradition of a British pantomime - low comedy, high melodrama, and lots of audience participation. Come and cheer the heroes, boo the villains, and join the raucous sing-alongs. This is truly theatre for the whole family, ages 2 to 102.

The Poor Mouth Theatre Company was founded in 2009 and regularly stages theatrical events of a variety of types at its home theater in An Beal Bocht Café in Riverdale. Our mission is to bring quality theatre to the Bronx and New York-the cafés, bars, community centers, church halls and streets. Just give us a corner and we'll put on a show! PMTC produces original plays, hosts short play festivals, brings our own productions of Broadway plays to local stages and encourages readings.

Poor Mouth Theatre Company and Riverdale Rising Stars previously collaborated last year's production of Snow White: A Holiday Pantomime, and on The Beauty Queen of Leanane.

Riverdale Rising Stars was created to provide the teens of the Riverdale community and beyond a professional repertory company experience. Since its inception 14 years ago, the organization has expanded its programming to include Rising Stars Jr., Riverdale Repertory Company, and the Riverdale Performing Arts Conservatory (RPAC), an educational program for adults and children. Of greatest importance is the way that all build self-esteem, learn enormous respect for others, develop camaraderie and create lifelong friendships. Together, these award-winning companies provide a world of expression, passion and creativity for all ages.

Additional upcoming shows include SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE, JR and the world premiere of IT'S EASY: AN ANTI-BULLYING MUSICAL (both featuring child performers) in January 2015; THE SOUND OF MUSIC (with a cast of all ages) and BROADWAY GALA in March 2015; THE LARAMIE PROJECT (adult performers) in April 2015; URINETOWN (teen performers) in May 2015; and ANNIE (child performers) in June 2015.
