Written and Directed By

On Stage August 16th-Sept. 1st 2024

We are excited to announce that Barnstormers is hosting the world premier of this delightful and funny play by a local playwright.

Buoyed with self-confidence (and a little over-exaggeration of experience) Salem embarks on a
hilarious misadventure into the community theatre world. Suddenly finding themself in charge of
a production of Cinderella, Salem decides that breaking free of stereotypes will get them high
marks in their classes. But will feminist Grace, cast as Cinderella, be able to rein in her feelings
about women's rights. Or what about Parker, cast as a lead, who barely speaks above a whisper?
And what will happen when the original director finally returns for the opening night
performance? If only fairy godmothers were real because Salem could definitely use a little
magic to fix the mess they have made.
