Book by Kathryn Petersen Music & Lyrics by Michael Ogborn Directed by Liz Filios Associate Directed by Andrew Watring The Leonard C. Haas Stage
Our beloved holiday panto returns!

Our wildly popular holiday confection is back with a brand-new staging of one of our most beloved pantos! Cinderella is chock-full of villains and heroes, shenanigans, and unfettered joy. Can a brave young person carve their own path and define their future, even when their family is doing all they can to prevent it? Join us to find out, sing along, cheer for our hero, and boo(oooo!) anyone who stands in her way!

Under the direction of panto veteran, past Cinderella cast member, and People’s Light Company Artist Liz Filios, with Associate Director Andrew Watring, our signature "holiday treat" (Broad Street Review) is a musical, magical experience for ages 5-105.
