The fabled children\'s play, Cinderella, will be presented by the Carnegie Performing Arts Center Saturday, February 25 at 7 pm, and Sunday, February 26 at 2 pm, at the Andrew Carnegie Music Hall, 300 Beechwood Avenue in Carnegie. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for children, students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the box office the day of the shows or by going to www.carnegieperformingartscenter.com and following the ticket link. The play follows the story of young Cinderella, whose father died and left her in the care of her stepmother. The stepmother, with her two daughters, Javotte and Marie, make Cinderella work as a servant in her own home. They call her Cinderella because she spends so much time sweeping out the cinders in the fireplace. Cinderella dreams of attending a ball for Prince Quinton who is seeking a wife. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella does indeed go to the ball and wins the love of the Prince. But then, at midnight, just as the fairy godmother predicted, Cinderella’s beautiful ball gown turns to rags, her coach turns back into a pumpkin and her footmen into rats. Prince Quinton is left with her glass slipper which he determines to try on every lady in the kingdom until he finds the rightful owner. The role of Cinderella is played by Lana Platt of Carnegie who attends Chartiers Valley Middle School. Lana studies at the Carnegie Performing Arts Center and was last seen as the Toy Ballerina in the Nutcracker. Stepsisters Javotte and Marie are portrayed by Shiane Pelescak, also attending Chartiers Valley, and Maggie Nelis of Coraopolis who attends West Allegheny Middle School. The Stepmother is acted by Eva Beres from Pittsburgh. Ana Lewis, of Carnegie, who was recently Clara in the Nutcracker, acts in the role of the Fairy Godmother. Prince Quinton is portrayed by Gunner Firmstone who is from Mount Pleasant. Monica Ryan directs the performance.
