Beyond the stage, Ignite has transformed the Younts Center lobby into “The Glass Slipper Boutique,” creating an interactive prelude before the curtain rises. Designed to resemble an enchanted castle ballroom, the space features themed keepsakes, photo stations, and a centerpiece princess carriage for family portraits.

For an added $25 fee, children can take part in the boutique’s “Royal Treatment,” which includes hairstyling with glitter by costumed characters, a keepsake tiara, choker, gloves, light-up accessories, a magic wand, and souvenir mirrors and keychains.

Patrons and families are encouraged to arrive roughly 30 minutes prior to curtain to allow ample time to browse the boutique, participate in character experiences, and take photos before finding their seats.

Tickets and full season details are available online via the Younts Center box office at yountscenter.org and through Ignite Theatrical’s link hub at linktr.ee/ignitetheatrical. Updates and backstage previews can also be found across Facebook and Instagram at @ignitetheatrical and @YountsCenter.
