Tickets are on sale now for the Brockport High School original production of “Silk and Cinders: A Cinderella Story.” Performances will be held in the Brockport High School auditorium April 20 and 21 at 7 p.m.
“Silk and Cinders: A Cinderella Story” is a brand new musical for the whole family. It is a fun and funny mash up of the classic stories “Cinderella” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” “Silk and Cinders” was written by Julie and Dan Izzo (Brockport High School English teacher) with music by Kelly Izzo Shapiro (2008 graduate of Brockport High School). In the story, a vain and foolish king rules the kingdom where Cinderella endures the abuse of her stepmother and stepsisters. The king’s son, Prince Harry, detests his father’s selfishness and greed. He wants to help the people who are struggling under his father’s oppressive rule but does not know how. The prince and Cinderella join to help each other, but things are not always what they seem and their happy ever after will surprise.
“Silk and Cinders” was written to showcase the many multitalented students involved in the production. More than 50 students and staff from the high school came together to create the theatrical experience. This venture is the second original musical by the Izzo family. “Alice Unraveled” premiered at Brockport High School in 2010. It was later accepted and performed at the New York Musical Theatre Festival and critically acclaimed.
Tickets are $5 and on sale at the high school greeter’s desk, online at showtix4u.com or at the door on the day of the show.
