is proud to present their first family holiday production -
Cinderella – A Holiday Pantomime by Bernard and Charlotte Stern and adapted by Chantal Forde. This version of the story is set in modern day, features all the treasured elements audiences know and love, and combines them with interactive fun, some new zany characters, and a festive spirit that’s sure to please audiences young and old. Performances run
Saturday, December 28 to Monday, December 30, 2013 at 2pm and Sunday, December 29, 2013 at 7pm at The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, 130 Navy St. Oakville, ON.
Burl-Oak Theatre Group’s version of
Cinderella is a typical British pantomime. The script follows the traditional Cinderella love story where Cinders meets her Prince Charming and features the traditional cast of characters but with a few new twists and turns along the way. It’s set in the present time and features a “Canada’s Got Talent” type of competition, with a Susan Boyle type performance. It’s filled with plenty of jokes, lots of loud colourful characters and the beloved happily-ever-after ending! It’s fun for everyone!
