BUFFALO TWP — Freeport High School will present Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical “Cinderella” at 7:30 p.m. March 30 and 31 and April 1, and at 2 p.m. April 2, at the middle school auditorium.

“Cinderella” is the story of a young woman named Ella living with her stepmother and stepsisters, who have treated her like a servant since the death of her father.

The prince of the kingdom is named Topher (short for Christopher); his parents have died, and he is advised by Lord Chancellor Sebastian.

Though an expert at slaying dragons, griffins, gargoyles and giants, he feels uncertain about how he will rule as king when the time comes. Prince Topher and Ella meet as he is on his way to the palace.

“Cinderella” features dancing in the ballroom scene, but too soon, the clock begins to strike midnight. Ella has just enough time to tell the prince that all is not well in his domain. She races down the stairs and trips, losing a shoe.

The prince is determined to find the mysterious woman who spoke so honestly about the kingdom. The women of the court, led by stepsister Charlotte, ask why the prince had not chosen any of them to be his love. A wild chase ensues, and the prince and his guards search high and low; they almost catch Ella.
