TOWNGATE THEATRE STAGES CINDERELLA

Oglebay Institute continues its tradition of bringing beloved fairy tales to life with an imaginative production of Cinderella, which will be staged January 20-22 and 26-28 at Towngate Theatre in Wheeling. After each performance, children receive a keepsake photograph of the cast and have an opportunity to meet the characters, get autographs and enjoy a “royal” tour of the set.

Written by Lynn Stevens and directed by Tim Thompson and Dave Henderson, this re-imagined version of Cinderella brings a “fresh approach” to one of the world’s most famous fairytales.

Curtain is 7 p.m. January 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 with a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, January 22. Tickets are $12.50 ($11 OI members), $10 for children ages 10 and under can be purchased by calling 304-242-7700.
