The Horizon Youth Theatre will stage "Cinderella: The World’s Favorite Fairy Tale" today and
Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in Wooster Street Center, 1124 E. Wooster St.
The play by Lowell Swortzell looks at versions of the classic tale from four cultures.
In addition to the fairytale Cinderella played by Grace Easterly, the play also includes the stories of:
Pearl Blossom (Rachel Piasecki), a young girl in China who only wants her stepmother to let her go see
the royal procession; Vasilisa (Rachel Long), a Russian maiden whose stepmother abandons her and her
magical doll in the forest of Baba Yaga, a witch with a penchant for eating children; and Broken Wing
(Skylar Frishman), a disfigured Native American girl, with the power to see what no one else can.
The message of all the stories though is the same: Love, kindness, friendship, determination and a little
spunk can help people overcome any hardship and obstacle evil witches and not-so-nice relations throw in
their way.
The cast of more than 30 local young actors is directed by Cassie Guion, a graduate student at Bowling
Green State University.
Tickets are $5 or five for $20. Available at Grounds for Thought, 174 S. Main St., Bowling Green.
