Prairie Fire Children's Theatre Production of "Cinderella" at the Middle School this weekend

Students in grades 2 through 8 can get a taste of the theater next week when Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre visits Northfield from April 18 – 23.

Northfield Public Schools Community Services is hosting Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre for a production of the classic story “Cinderella.” You probably already know the famous children’s story, but you have never seen it done like this before! For one thing, it is set in the 1950’s and has a lot of “tunes” from back then, along with original musical numbers and an original script.

Performances of “Cinderella” are 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, and again at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 23, at the Northfield Middle School auditorium. Shows are open to the public and tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students (grades K – 12). Admission for children younger than kindergarten age is free.

Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre is a professional acting company that travels to schools, community and arts programs to host week-long theater experiences. Professional actors, Blake Fountain and Lauren Longyear, will bring students through the entire process of creating a show, from audition to performance.
