The Fine Arts Center Theatre Company will present the musical "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella," on stage Dec. 2, 2021-Jan. 9, 2022. The production is directed and choreographed by FAC Co-Interim Producing Artistic Director Nathan Halvorson.
The FAC production of "Cinderella" is a modern twist on the timeless enchantment of this magical fairy tale. It brings new life to the story of a young woman who dreams of-and achieves-a better life. This contemporary take features Rodgers & Hammerstein's most beloved songs, including "In My Own Little Corner," "Impossible/It's Possible" and "Ten Minutes Ago."
"'Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella' is the perfect way to return to the yearly tradition of bringing families together with a musical spectacular for the holidays. This updated classic will dazzle you with magic, comedy, romance and, most importantly, kindness. Cinderella is not waiting to be rescued. She is actively searching for a better life, not only for herself, but for the entire kingdom in which she resides," said Halvorson. "With the help of her friends from the forest and a chance encounter with a prince with an identity crisis, she discovers that anything is possible. This show is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit."
