A timeless fairytale filled with magic, humor and heart is opening this weekend in Historic Folsom as Sutter Street Theatre raises the curtain on its newest family production of Cinderella.
Opening Saturday, May 23, the beloved classic arrives on stage in an original adaptation by Laura Luke, who also directs the production. The family-friendly show will run through June 21 with weekend matinee performances designed for audiences of all ages.
