The timeless fairy tale meets the magic of Disney in a stage adaptation of a treasured animated film when the Young Entertainers on Stage series at The Renaissance Center in Dickson presents Disney’s Cinderella Kids April 26-27.
Now in its third season, the YES series at The Renaissance Center is an opportunity for students ages 6-18 to perform in and work behind the scenes on a production specifically selected for young actors. Students audition for roles, rehearse with the center’s theatre professionals and present the show in the center’s Performance Hall.
Auditions for the YES series production of Disney’s Cinderella Kids will be 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Saturday, March 29, and are open to actors ages 6-18. Children auditioning will need to be present through the entire audition period and should prepare 16 measures of a song with the sheet music in the correct key or an accompaniment CD or tape.
Rehearsals for the show will be 4-6 p.m. Monday-Friday beginning March 31.
Tickets for the YES series production of Disney’s Cinderella Kids are $7 for adults and $5 for seniors over 55 and children 12 and under. Performances will be at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27, in the center’s Performance Hall.
Disney’s Cinderella Kids is a special adaptation of the animated movie Cinderella designed to be performed by students. It is the familiar story of poor Cinderella, who is endlessly mistreated by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. When Cinderella is denied the chance to go to the Royal Ball and left behind, her Fairy Godmother steps in with a little magic to make Cinderella’s dream come true.
With a beautiful score that includes popular songs like A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes and the classic Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, this musical will charm its way into the heart of audience members of all ages and remind everyone that dreams really can come true.
“The YES series is a great way for children to get involved in a theatre production whether it is for the first time or 10th time,” said Amy Scott, director of the YES series and the show’s director. “They get the opportunity to work with and learn from the professionals in the Theatre Arts Department at The Renaissance Center, from actors to musical directors to choreographers to technical directors. Even students who want to get involved in theatre but aren’t quite ready to be on stage can be a part of the stage crew and help with scenery, lights, sound, costumes and more.”
In its two previous seasons, the YES series presented productions of Disney’s The Jungle Book Kids and Disney’s Aladdin Jr.
