Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the timeless musical fairy tale of Ella, a kind young
woman forced into servitude by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Despite her hardships,
she dreams of a better life. With the magical help of her Fairy Godmother, she is transformed
for one enchanted evening at the royal ball, where she captures the heart of the Prince.
When the clock strikes midnight and the spell fades, a single glass slipper leads to a
kingdom-wide search, proving that kindness, courage, and hope can change a life forever.
Filled with beloved songs like “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” and “Ten Minutes
Ago,” this classic musical celebrates romance, transformation, and the power of believing
in yourself.

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest—a sparkling, laugh-out-loud comedy that has delighted audiences for over a century. If you’ve never experienced this classic, think of it as the original romantic comedy—fast-paced, clever, and packed with outrageous situations.
The story follows two charming bachelors who invent alternate identities to escape social obligations, only to find themselves tangled in a web of love, lies, and hilariously high-stakes misunderstandings.
What makes Earnest so special is its razor-sharp wit and unforgettable characters—from the delightfully ridiculous Algernon to the poised yet secretly rebellious Gwendolen, all under the watchful eye of the formidable (and iconic) Lady Bracknell. Every line is filled with clever humor, making it just as entertaining and relatable today as when it first premiered. Whether you’re a longtime theatre lover or new to classic plays, this is a perfect introduction—elegant, playful, and absolutely hilarious.
Performances June 11, 12, 19 and 20 at 7:00pm,
June 13 and 21 at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets: $11 Youth, $13 Students, $20 Adult, +military and senior discounts

Staging a Bright Future
Every gift—large or small—has truly moved us forward, and we are deeply grateful for the incredible support we’ve received so far. Because of your generosity, we’ve already raised $67,541 (as of December 22), bringing us closer to our goal—but there is still important work ahead.
As we enter Phase 3 of our campaign, our goal is to reach $100,000 by year’s end to ensure Saltwater Performing Arts continues to thrive for our students and our community. That means we’re just over two-thirds of the way there, with $32,459 left to go.

Many in our community haven’t yet had the opportunity to participate, which means there is still a powerful chance to make an impact. You can help by making a year-end donation, sharing our campaign with friends and family, or even hosting your own online fundraiser on our behalf. Every action—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to keeping exceptional theatre experiences alive and shining on our stage.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us finish the year strong.
Together, we can cross the finish line.
