Join the Wisconsin Heights Players youngest actors as they re-tell this rags-to-riches fairytale of a young girl forced to live with her cruel stepmother and her equally cruel daughters. Cinderella’s kind and gentle nature, despite her surroundings, makes her a favorite with the three feisty mice who have also taken up residence in the house. Their motto? “Get `em and bite `em and beat `em up!” Meanwhile, in another part of the kingdom, a somewhat childlike King and his Queen are zealous in their pursuit of grandchildren. A ball is the thing wherein they’ll capture a daughter-in-law and make a grandfather of the King. Rest assured, they will get no help from their son, who is more interested in traveling than finding a wife, but there’s nothing to fear with Jacques on their side. Jacques, a “master storyteller, juggler and jester extraordinaire,” narrates the tale from the very beginning, all the while confounding the King’s right-hand man and beleaguered servant, Bernard. Throw in a forgetful Fairy Godmother, a tired dog, and the audience’s participation, and higglety-pigglety-hobblety-hoy, it is an evening of classic fairytale fun!
