"Cinderella" (Saturdays & Sundays at 12PM) is the classic tale of a young girl and her quest to discuss Ornithology with Prince Dreamboat (It's pronounced "Dram-beau"). With the help of her faithful Bird friends, Albert and Cameron, the brave Cinderella is a real survivor. Will she make it to the Three Day Ball? Will the King & Queen ever get to retire to Boca? And what about that slipper?

"The Tinderbox" (Saturdays & Sundays at 1PM) is a favorite among dog lovers everywhere! An Evil Witch guides the Pure-Hearted Soldier to a secret treasure house deep beneath the earth - but first he must brave Three Magical Dogs - Goldie, Silvie, and Red - and fetch a mysterious Tinderbox. His adventures lead him to riches, friendship with a Lonely Princess, and a stand-off with an Evil Queen.

The actors include Jonathan Reed Wexler, Collin Blackard, Nicholas Corda, Alyssa Diamond, Claire Elise Walton & Samantha Cooper; set design is by Ashley Cusack, costume design by Asa Benally, lighting design is by Dennis Parichy, and puppet designs are by Spica Wobbe and Nicola McEldowney.

This family-friendly theater production will be performed in repertory at the Workshop Theatre with Frog & Peach Theatre Company's fall show for general audiences, Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Lynnea Benson. Performances are October 22 to November 15.
