Cinderella: A Nativity Twist

Riverside Performing Arts will be performing two shows of Cinderella: A Nativity Twist in Birmingham. A Christmas treat for all ages! Ella loves Christmas, the presents, the decorations and the food. However, Ivy her step-sister does not. When the Prince sends a special invite to a party, Ivy decides to put a stop to Christmas. Will Ella find her way to the party? Can she discover the real meaning of Christmas along the way?

With music, singing, dancing and a touch of fairy dust, make this a special treat not to be missed!
