Take the classic Cinderella fairytale. Sprinkle in some magic and darklight puppetry. Whirl them together with 1700s social dancing, a children’s jig, vibrant colorful costumes, lively fairytale characters…and… “Sparkling, glittering, fireworks!,” the Rhode Opera House / Lakeside Players and Sheepish of Racine proudly present Cinderella!

This original, fun, classic version was written, costumed, and directed by Ruth and Jordanna Gastrow, with further directing support by Children’s Series Producer Ann-Marie Schmid. Chief Set Designer, Ray Crockett, built the backdrop fit for Cinderella’s arrival in her horse-drawn carriage. It is the first large production Rhode has undertaken in many years. Cinderella is surefire entertainment for all ages, filled with fairytale romance, jealousy, humor, excitement, and Fairy Godmother’s wise advice. Choreographer Guy Singer Studios has beautifully blended their talents throughout and created a bride-finding-ball palace scene fit for royalty.

“We are very proud of our diverse cast and crew, their dedication and teamwork in making Cinderella a success!”

the directors stated. Cinderella performances last apx. 2 hours with intermission and will be at 2PM on Saturdays and Sundays, May 15-16 and May 22-23. Tickets are $7.00, with group discounts available. The Rhode Opera House/Lakeside Players is located at 514 56th Street, downtown Kenosha.

” . . . We really need to get creative downtown. It would be really cool if one of the art organizations and the city could start a program where land owners donated space (like this) for a yearly, themed (land owners discretion) mural competition. Winner gets to commissioned to actually put it up on the building. . .”
