Experience the Magic and Mishaps of 'The Cracked Slipper'
A Whimsical Journey Awaits
About 'The Cracked Slipper'
Buoyed with self-confidence (and a little over-exaggeration of experience) Salem embarks on a hilarious misadventure into the community theatre world. Suddenly finding themself in charge of a production of Cinderella, Salem decides that breaking free of stereotypes will get them high marks in their classes. But, will feminist Grace, cast as Cinderella, be able to rein in her feelings about women’s rights? Or what about Parker, cast as a lead, who barely speaks above a whisper? And what will happen when the original director finally returns for the opening night performance? If only fairy godmothers were real because Salem could definitely use a little magic to fix the mess they have made.
