We ran out of time to do write this with the students, but I thought I'd put up some information about the play today, as you may have questions following the notice that went home yesterday.
Most importantly, the play was fabulous: very funny and engaging with lots of audience participation. Two of our students even got to carry the "slipper" onto the stage!
During the play, a man and his nephew travel forward in time to modern Calgary where Cinderella lives with her step mother and 2 step-sisters. In the time-travel, one of the men ended up wearing a fancy dress - so he became the fairy godmother. His costumes were hilarious and most kids in our class picked him as their favourite character. Our students mostly found the kiss at the end to be the most offensive part - but as the actors explained during the question period afterwards, love is a common theme in fairy tales!
Overall, the students had a great time and really enjoyed the play - and I am hoping to take my own children sometime over the next 4 weeks it is running. If you have the opportunity, I'd really recommend it!
