Kids Take the Stage with Gorton Drama Studio’s Cinderella This Summer

This summer, Gorton Drama Studio brings the classic story of Cinderella to life. Campers ages seven to 17 learn acting, stagecraft, collaboration, and confidence as they rehearse and perform this beloved fairytale. From fairy godmothers to glass slippers, every role plays a part in an inspiring, joy-filled theatrical experience that ends with a live performance in the John & Nancy Highes Theater.
