Battle Ground High School's theater program is excited to present Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical "Cinderella” for their final production of the year.
"This show is a labor of love and our cast has poured many hours into learning the songs and choreography," said Liz Hix, director and language arts teacher. "I'm also excited about our set. I'm hoping the simplicity of it will capture the magic and nostalgia of listening to a bedtime story."
"I think it's just so magical, and it's gonna really come together," said Lyric Hawkins, a senior participating in the production. "When everyone dances together, it becomes so beautiful," agreed fellow senior Atlas Arnold, a flower girl and ensemble cast member.
"Cinderella" tells the story of a young woman who lives a life of servitude under her stepmother and stepsisters until the king announces a royal ball to find a wife for the prince. With the help of her fairy godmother and animal friends, Cinderella charms the prince, leaving behind a glass slipper as she flees at midnight.
"I think they're gonna be enticed by the magic that we're bringing into it,” said freshman Josh Postupak, who plays The Herald. “And I hope my role gives them lots of laughs." Postupak is a veteran of more than a dozen productions at Chief Umtuch Middle School and Journey Theater group.
Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, May 23 and 30, and 2:30 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 24 and 31. Tickets are $10 for general admission or $7 for students, available online in advance at
