Performances will be March 13, 14, and 15 at 7:00
p.m. and March 16 at 2:00 p.m. Co-directed by Shannon Radcliffe and
Melissa Cremeens in their directing debuts, Cinderella tells the
beloved story of the girl in difficult circumstances who conquers
with kindness and wins the hand of the prince with some special help
and magical transformations along the way.
Co-director Cremeens says, “This show is a must-see
classic that is full of magic and amazing talent. We would love for
everyone to come out and see what students have been working so hard
on these last couple months.“ Co-director Radcliffe adds, “This
production has been an absolute joy to work on. The kids have been
incredibly patient with us as we navigate how to direct a show for
the first time. This is an incredibly talented bunch of students,
and they have made this process so much easier for us. This show
really is magical, and it's because of the hard work they have put
in.”
Cinderella features seniors Charlie McFadden as Ella,
Wyatt Ulvestad as Topher, Presley Coale as Marie, Grace Tolliver as
Madame, Emma Adams as Charlotte, Kristy Morrow as Gabrielle, and

Charlie McFadden is one of the group of seniors who
has been involved in musical theater throughout high school. She
inhabits the kindness of the title character in her last musical
theater role of high school. Charlie says “This show has been so
much fun! It’s been such an incredible opportunity to grow with my
friends. I’m excited to see what the new directors will do in the
future.” Wyatt Ulvestad, playing the other lead role of Prince
Topher, has been involved in musicals, madrigals, and choir all four
years of high school. He says, “I’ve enjoyed it so much! For my last
performance in high school, I’m definitely ending on a high note.”
A live orchestra directed by LCHS band director Nigel
Range will feature student musicians, along with Principal David
Helm, Vocal director Tim Searby, and Accompanist Kay Dobson. The
production also includes a large stage and technical crew of
students supporting the production.
