Young Talent, Big Stage Presence

Putting on a full-scale musical is no small feat, but the young cast proves that passion and discipline know no age limit. From the sweeping waltzes at the royal ball to comical turns by the stepfamily, the performers bring energy, vocal poise, and theatrical charm to each scene.

Behind the glass slippers and pumpkin coaches is a dedicated creative team and director guiding these emerging actors through weeks of vocal coaching, blocking, and choreography. For many in the ensemble, stepping onto the professional stage at the Younts Center is not just an extracurricular activity—it is an early training ground in public speaking, teamwork, and artistic confidence. The resulting production showcases the vibrant creative community growing right along Main Street.

Shows like Cinderella draw patrons to local dining spots, boutiques, and cafes before curtain call, offering an easy, family-friendly evening out while highlighting the city’s commitment to youth arts programming.
