We close our tenth Children's Season with an adaptation of one of the most beloved fairy tales of all time.
 The Glass Slipper is an adaptation by Vera Morris of the age-old story of Cinderella, a young girl forced to work for her wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters, Brunhilda and Cleopatra. Cinderella never loses her gentle, cheerful disposition, despite being forced to sit among the ashes and having no friends except mice, a shy cat and the magical “Pumpkinhead."
The Glass Slipper will delight young audiences with the familiar story of Cinderella, who wins the heart of Prince Charming -- despite her scheming family -- all with the help of her very own Fairy Godmother.
The Glass Slipper cast includes: Haley Maul of Aurora; August Anderson and Anna Masini of Batavia; Chase Costello of Elburn; Maggie Kohler of Elgin; Henry Huth, Kathleen Mirilli, Alysiana Carter-Tang, all of Geneva; Dianna Medic of Lombard; Caroline Cole of Naperville;
