Salt & Light
Note from the directors
Salt & Light welcomes you to our Spring Performance! We are so glad you are here and appreciate the support of a local family owned business. Now that we are at the close of a semester, we’d love to share with you all that the students have learned. You are about to experience a performance that has been taught, learned, and rehearsed (a few many times!) in just a short few months. Remember to laugh, cry, cheer, and clap to encourage our young artists on stage. On with the show!

Her father is now heartbroken and lonely, he marries a lady with two daughters of her own. As time moves on, Ella’s father also falls ill and passes away. The step mother is now alone with her daughters and Ella, whom she begins to treat as a daughter she never wanted. Ella is now maid in her own home, her sisters call her “Cinderella” as she is always covered in dirt and dust. Cinderella has no people friends, yet makes friends with the mice of the house and the birds in the yard. There is a cat, Lucy, whom is quite a menace and is always sneaking around the house. Our story turns as the Prince of the Country is giving a ball and by royal decree, every maiden is invited to the party of a lifetime.

Cinderella is now off the the ball in a gown made of fluff and glass slippers. Cinderella rushes off to the ball to dance with the Prince. She must hurry as when the clock strikes midnight her life will change again.
