Wellesley Theatre Project Presents: Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, Youth Edition

The Prince is giving a ball! Join us at WTP to attend this classic tale of love and resilience in Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Youth Edition! Performances will be held July 16th, 17th and 18th at 5pm and July 18th at 2pm, at the Sorenson Center for the Arts at Babson College (219 Babson College Drive, Wellesley, MA 02481).

Experience the timeless enchantment of Cinderella, the classic tale of kindness, courage, and dreams coming true. Follow Cinderella as she rises above the cruelty of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters with the help of her Fairy Godmother, who magically prepares her for the royal ball. When she captures the heart of the Prince, she must race against midnight to preserve the spell—and ultimately find her place in a world that finally sees her worth. Filled with magic, elegance, and hope, this beloved story reminds us that grace and goodness can transform even the darkest circumstances!
