Wednesday, August 2nd

  • Henrico Teen Theater Company: Simply Cinderella. This re-telling of the classic fairytale is fast paced and flat out funny! Overworked Cinderella swings her broom at the Fairy Godmother thinking she’s a giant moth. Meanwhile, the Queen wants the Prince to choose a suitable bride, but he would rather play video games than dance with a girl. This upbeat, slap-happy fairy tale will delight performers and audiences alike. Wed-Sat, Aug 2-5, 10 am & 2 pm. Free. Call for reservations. Information: 501-5859.
