A Royal's Drama Production: Cinderella!

Cinderella!
Hey Royals!

As you may have already noticed, Kent-Meridian just had a Drama production on May 5, 6, 12, 13, and 14. The featured play was none other than Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella!

The production was a great success, with so much effort, patience, and dedication going into this worthy piece of amazing art. Well, of course, with excellent actors.

The Director was none other than our very own Mr. Jay Thornton, with his skills and dedication, the play was a huge accomplishment. Also helping in this play was Vocal Director: Mr. Heath Thompson, and Instrumental Director: Mr. Adam Rupert.

Cast List:
Cinderella                Ciana Luna                      Joy                                    Wiley Bowen
Christopher              Kekoa Primacio               Queen Constantina           Amanda Schmitt
Fairy Godmother     Shalondra Powell             King Maximillian             Aaron Hernandez
Stepmother              Jana Padrini                      Lionel                               KyeAnne Wilde

Also, a huge shout out to the Orchestra team, for their contribution of such quality music.

Cinderella opens with two very different people searching for their 'love.' They come from very different backgrounds and are in very different situations, but low and behold, destiny said they were to be together!

I hope everyone was able to see this great performance by our peers. Here are some highlights.

Christopher (Kekoa)

The shoe! The shoe! Who's is it?

The prince is coming! Hurry! Put on some decent clothes...

Disappointed Joy

The prince, Christopher, and Cinderella, Ciana, finally together! At last.
In Mr. Jay Thornton's words, "Cinderella has such a strong message of not giving up hope, despite the difficulties we encounter in life."
